Covetous ambition, thinking all too little which presently it hath, supposeth itself to stand in need of that which it hath not.

Walter Raleigh

But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. You should be an open book, be transparent.

Phil McGraw

Existence itself stands in need of nothing, for it lacks nothing, whereas everything else needs it, because outside of it there is nothing. Nothingness stands in need of existence, as a sick man lacks health and is in need. Health has no need of a sick man. To want nothing, therefore, characterizes the highest perfection, is fullest and purest existence.

Meister Eckhart

When you have nothing to say, or to hide, there is no need to be prudent.

Andre Gide

People with nothing to hide don't usually feel the need to say so.

Danai Gurira

There is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself.

Herman Melville

He that hath a trade hath an estate; and he that hath a calling hath a place of profit and honor. A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.

Benjamin Franklin

In a presidential campaign, you can't lie. You can't hide what you are and what you want. You can't hide what kind of President you'll be. You can't keep on talking about nothing indefinitely and committing to nothing, you can't keep running away from debate, masking the challenges.

Nicolas Sarkozy

Self-respect is nothing to hide behind. When you need it most it isn't there.

May Sarton

You could never hide yourself in these places - in Mies's Farnsworth house, for example. That was a mistake of Modernism. People need places to hide from each other, too. You need everything.

Ben van Berkel

Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is. That's what I wanted - to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself.
