Michael O'Brien Quotes

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

A gift of truth is the gift of love.

You just make yourself available to be full of love. And to be truthful and honest, 100 percent.

I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.

No lies, just love.

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.

Honesty does not always bring a response of love, but it is absolutely essential to it.

Love cannot long survive without truth. Nor is truth really truth unless it is integrated with love.

I value nothing more highly than to be allowed the honor of entering into bonds of friendship with people who sincerely love truth. For ... I believe there is nothing in the world which we can love with tranquility except such men.

Try and spread a lot of love and affection around the world. The most important thing is not to 'con' the public. Be real.

I believe the foundation of love is based on honesty and truth.

When you really love someone, you try to tell the truth.

Truth makes love possible; love makes truth bearable.

For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.

It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Love is to be nurtured, protected, and respected, and entered into with a clear mind and a sound heart.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

People always love and respect characters who speak the truth, even if the truth hurts.

How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

I trust you: That's huge. That's truth. That's real love. Everyone uses 'I love you' so loosely.

I'm the straight-talking woman in your life who is going to be really honest with you, but come from a place of love. I'm not talking down to you; I do this from my heart.

This is probably why, my life is easier, and my family is very happy, because we never lie each other. This is probably all people supposed to feel each other, so be always in all of the world they'll be peace.

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
