I came across these statements about community in a book I was reading yesterday:

"You can develop a healthy, robust community.. and enjoy it's results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor."

"Speak the truth in love."

"When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself."

"In the end, people appreciate frankness more than flattery."

Most of all, I like the one about "speak the truth in love."

the book?...

Oh yeah, it's called the bible.
