Testifying has helped me understand that one individual's behavior and actions make a difference. That my actions are important to people other than myself.

You know I took an oath to tell the truth when I took the witness stand.

As Christians, it's our duty to stand up for what we believe - that's called testifying.

I've always sensed for myself an obligation to bear witness to my time.

We can't give the truth to someone as an object, we can only point to it, inviting inspection. It is in that spirit that we can hear or read a teaching and then look at our own lives, at our own experiences to see whether anything might have been revealed about them.

I've always believed you can get closer to the truth by pretending not to speak it.

Testimony gives something to be interpreted.

I call God to witness that as a private person I have done nothing unbeseeming an honest man, nor, as I bear the place of a public man, have I done anything unworthy of my place.

Most conversations are simply monologues delivered in the presence of a witness.

The truth touches us. We try to be guided by this contact.
