Let there be light!

Spiritual Truths ‏@TheGodLight Apr 6
Let the truth be the light that you see by, open your heart to honesty & close the door to illusion.
"Let me tell you a secret, which ought not to be a secret, seeing it is written in the Scriptures--be honest and your whole body will be full of light; and this of every kind; you will actually see further and see clearer than shrewd and cunning men, and you will be less liable to be duped than they, provided that your honesty be combined with a determination to protect honesty, and to discountenance every kind of brand."
- Edward Irving, Sermons, Lectures and Occasional Discourses: vol. 2
"Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten."
- Thomas Otway, Venice Preserved
