Quote by William J. Harris

Neatness, madam, has nothing to do with the truth. The truth is quite messy, like a wind blown room.

Neatness, madam, has nothing to do with the truth. The truth

Summary

This quote suggests that neatness and organization are not indicative of truth. It uses the metaphor of a windblown room to illustrate that truth can be messy and chaotic, lacking the tidy appearance that society often values. In other words, the truth may not fit neatly into preconceived notions or conform to societal expectations. It implies that one must be willing to embrace the messiness and complexity of the truth, rather than seeking simplicity and orderliness, in order to fully understand and accept it.

Never do a single thing in the anticipation to prove something to someone who has hurt you. If someone has hurt or offended you (whoever that person may be), never perform anything or strive for anything in your life with the mind of proving something to that someone/ to those people. May nothing that you do be done with any thought of them in mind. There is nothing that needs to be proven.
