Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth as if the taste of lies was homey appetizing: a habit.

When I saw corruption I was forced to find truth on my own. I couldn't swallow the hypocrisy.

Wallow too much in sensitivity and you can't deal with life or the truth.

Don't let your special character and values the secret that you know and no one else does the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.

For one swallow does not make a summer nor does one day and so too one day or a short time does not make a man blessed and happy.

I think I've always had a certain amount of skepticism of this whole 'shut up and smile' theory. I haven't ever swallowed that pill so easily although I tried.

I have been enlightened. I have fallen into poetry and it has swallowed me up.

I'm not one to sit and wallow - I would rather figure out a way around so I can move past it and be at peace with things. I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.

Bats drink on the wing like swallows by sipping the surface as they play over pools and streams.
