In the book
Honesty, after all, is just truth, openness, and fairness of conduct; it is integrity wearing everyday clothes. Begin by separating reality from perception: you see the world through your own eyes and never quite see reality itself, so train yourself to expect bias and to keep seeking the truth underneath it. The trouble is that we are guided by what we believe to be true, which doesn't always match what is true; from inside, the illusion feels exactly like reality. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
The world is not always — or ever — exactly as it seems; a dirty, miserable ferry ride may, on a second look, turn out to be something else entirely. We never see reality directly; we see only a model of it, built from imperfect observations — and wisdom never forgets the difference. The danger is not ignorance — there is nothing wrong with not knowing — the danger is the man who is certain he knows what he does not. — The Instruments (Awareness/Perception/Expectations)
