There Are No Half Truths

By
Education & Training with Ludwig & Associates

There Are No Half Truths

“Half a truth is often a great lie.”

Benjamin Franklin 1706 - 1790, Foundering Father of the

United States, A Leading Author, Printer, Political Theorist,

Politician, Freemason, Postmaster, Postmaster, Scientist,

Inventor, Civic Activist, Statesman and Diplomat

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

There are no half truths  

 

You are either a person that speaks the truth . . . . or you are not . . . . There are no half truths.

 

The person who paves the path of their success journey with integrity . . . .  paves the way for a bright . . . . and successful future.

 

When you attempt to tell a half truth you are telling a lie. A lie create a path full potholes . . . . and makes for a very bumpy journey with very little or no forward progress.

 

The path you decide to follow is a choice . . . . choose the path of truths and integrity.

 

There are no half truths or partial lie . . . .  its either the truths or it’s not.

Rather than lie, say nothing because Mr. Franklin was correct.

Good morning Lou Ludwig ,

A good message this morning. You do have the choice to travel the road of telling the whole truth because there are no half truths..its either a truth or a lie!

Good Morning Lou:

We always hear the word grey area. Actually, there should not be any grey area. It is either black or white.

True.  No half truths, only lies.  No white lie, just lies.

Lou Ludwig I agree with Old Ben, if you are saying a half-truth, you are lying about the rest.

In my experience, half truths will always catch up to people and bite them in the butt.

Seems life has shown me that telling the truth - and the complete truth is so much easier than telling an untruth.
