WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HONESTY AND TRANSPARENCY 1.Mahatma Gandhi “Truth never damages a cause that is just.” ― Mahatma Gandhi 2.Vera Nazarian “In the kingdom of glass everything is transparent, and there is no place to hide a dark heart.” ― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration 3.Holly Schindler “When he looks back at me, his eyes travel around my face the way fingers dart through the bottom of a drawer, searching for batteries in a blackout.” ― Holly Schindler, Playing Hurt 4.William O. Douglas “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” ― William O. Douglas 5.David Kinnaman “The motivation of transparency is important. The culture teaches people to be candid and blunt, but this usually revolves around self-centeredness – you have a right to express your true feelings and your rage. This is an entitlement. Instead, the Christian way to approach transparency is to realize out candidness should be motivated by a desire to have a pure heart before God and others.” ― David Kinnaman, unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why It Matters 6.“Sacrificing anonymity may be the next generations price for keeping precious liberty, as prior generations paid in blood.” ― Hal Norby 7.“There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy.” ― Joseph Pulitzer 8.Ben Fountain “There was no such thing as perfection in this world, only moments of such extreme transparency that you forgot yourself, a holy mercy if there ever was one.” ― Ben Fountain, Billy Lynns Long Halftime Walk 9.“There’s no going back, and there’s no hiding the information. So let everyone have it.” ― Andrew Kantor 10.Toba Beta “Total transparency risks countrys stability.” ― Toba Beta, Betelgeuse Incident 11.Amit Kalantri “My past conduct was so transparent and so honest that when my enemies spread rumours about me nobody believed them.” ― Amit Kalantri 12.Jarod Kintz “We have no secrets from each other, though sometimes I wish some things were more hidden. What’s more transparent than invisible?” ― Jarod Kintz 13.“The poet strips naked. The philosopher takes notes.” ― Marty Rubin 14.Wallace Stegner “I find it hard to describe what it is like to look fully into eyes that one has known that well--known better than one knows the look of ones own eyes, actually--and then put away, deliberately forgotten. That instantly reasserted intimacy, that resumption of what looks like friendly concern, is like nakedness, like exposure.” ― Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose 15.Franco Santoro “I hid my wound under my clothes. Nobody could see it, including myself, and I completely forgot about it. Then I met someone who, filled with love, held me tight in that point. The pain was devastating, and I hated him, o how much I hated him, the cause of all my suffering. Then I met someone, beautifully dressed, and I loved him so much, holding him tight with all my passion. And he suffered badly, and he hated me, o how much he hated me, the cause of all his pain. So the story went on till I met someone who undressed himself, standing completely naked, with all his horrible wounds. Hence I also undressed, and I saw my horrible wounds, which he could also see. Then...” ― Franco Santoro 16.“If you remove Al Sharpton’s blackness, he disappears. He’s transparent. There’s nothing there because he bases his whole life on his blackness. Me, I’m a black man; but my blackness has submission to my Christianity.” ― Ken Hutcherson 17.“Telling the difference between transparent and invisible is an acquired skill. Until youve practiced, you cant make the choice between looking through and looking at.” ― David Whiteland, Book of Pages 18.C.S. Lewis “We had better share our bewilderments. By hiding them from each other we should not hide them from ourselves.” ― C.S. Lewis, Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer 19.Ziad K. Abdelnour “You know you have a transparency problem when citizens of a democracy need to rely on WikiLeaks for details on changes to laws.” ― Ziad K. Abdelnour, Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics 20.Jarod Kintz “I had a dream about you. I was Nowhere Man, and I was there for you. I was as transparent as the current Presidential administration is invisible to the plight of the poor. ” ― Jarod Kintz, I had a dream about you 2 21.“Guantánamo Bays motto: Safe, humane, legal, transparent detention. Four adjectives describing a sick joke.” ― Rodney Ulyate 22.Will Davis Jr. “Instead of fleeing God scrutiny, David welcomed it. Its like he was saying, Look God, since I cant hide from you, since you know my very thoughts before I think them, I want you to fully know me. Be in the very core, the essence of my being. If youre going to know me, then know everything about me!” ― Will Davis Jr., 10 Things Jesus Never Said: And Why You Should Stop Believing Them 23.Michael Pollan “Supermarkets in Denmark have experimented with adding a second bar code to packages of meat that when scanned at a kiosk in the store brings up on a monitor images of the farm where the meat was raised, as well as detailed information on the particular animal’s genetics, feed, medications, slaughter date, etc. Most of the meat in our supermarkets simply couldn’t withstand that degree of transparency; if the bar code on the typical package of pork chops summoned images of the CAFO it came from, and information on the pig’s diet and drug regimen, who could bring themselves to buy it? Our food system depends on consumers’ not knowing much about it beyond the price disclosed by the checkout scanner. Cheapness and ignorance are mutually reinforcing.” ― Michael Pollan, The Omnivores Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals 24.“Every citizen must be actively aware of, participating in, and overseeing research, and that research should be focused on creating prosperity and peace, not war and poverty or suicidal needs. 25.Transparency, which engenders truth, is the foundation for all this.” ― Robert David Steele, The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust 26.“I realized in 1988 that my life as a spy specializing in secrets was not only unproductive, it was in sharp opposition to what we actually need: full access to true information, and consequently, the ability to create Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).” ― Robert David Steele, The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust 27.“I am not alone in the conviction that real, lasting national security can best be obtained through complete transparency of government, business, and other facets of society, and this includes open access to all of the many available types of information.” ― Robert David Steele, The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust 28.“Heres the bottom line: The secret world of intelligence--at least in the United States of America--represents everything wrong with the government, the industrial era, our financial-economic system, and our ethics.” ― Robert David Steele, The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust 29.“Liberation technology creates wealth, and open-source technology creates wealth. In both instances the center of gravity for dramatic change toward resilience and sustainability is the human brain mass of five billion poor--the one billion rich have failed to scale. The human brain is the one unlimited resource we have on Earth.” ― Robert David Steele, The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust 30.“I will say that again in a different way: the persistent unethical and ignorant emphasis on secrecy and on making decisions for partisan advantage or to pay off campaign contributors and select insiders is not sustainable. We the People have an opportunity to embrace this manifesto of Open-Source Everything and bury rule of secrecy. This is why I am optimistic about the future.” ― Robert David Steele, The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust 31.Michael Bassey Johnson “When going out of your material body, after the return, the courage becomes so great that you can tread on things that can take the life of a materialist.” ― Michael Bassey Johnson
