"Goodness is the only investment that never fails"

-Henry David Thoreau 

This quote tells the truth but not all the way way what I mean is that telling the truth can only get you so far. Yes its important to always tell the truth because it never fails but telling it all the time and for even small things wont really get you can where. Telling the truth can doesn't always help you and it  can fail at times. Some people just don't want to hear the truth sometimes people wont care what you have to say even if its the truth other just don't want to hear it so saying that goodness or the truth can get you far is well no really true. Now this doesn't mean that you should never show goodness yes being nice and telling the truth is good well again to a point but saying that it gets you a long way is a lie. This is what I think about this quote like i said before everyone has there own point of view.
