AA Grapevine Daily Quote: The Scoop Staff Picks!

“The more willing I become to admit it when I am wrong, the less often am I in the position of having to make such an admission.”
|
"Not Under the Rug," January 1967, AA Grapevine

“Truth is not a bludgeon to be used indiscriminately ... When I am asked for an opinion or advice, I give it to the best of my ability with as much gentleness, understanding, and tolerance as I can scrape up.”
|
“Truth,” Key West, Florida, August 1973, Best of the Grapevine, Vol. 1
|
|
“It's hard to keep an open mind with an open mouth."
