Telling the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile.

About this quote

A quiet, well aimed line from Paulo Coelho on clarity, patience, and the kind of knowing that only comes with time. It reads quickly but lingers, which is exactly what you want from a quote you plan to see dozens of times a day.

Wisdom quotes are usually not loud. They are the lines you come back to quietly, years after first reading them. Keeping one visible on your phone is a way of slowly letting a useful idea become part of how you think. Pair it with a wallpaper that matches the mood, or save it as plain text. Either way, having it on your screen is the point.
