Openness is a philosophy that stresses transparency and communication.

Our human relationships are strengthened by our willingness to open up and share our fears and opinions with those who we trust. Trust is the foundation that helps people be open.

We must strive to build a world where everybody is free and capable of openly expressing their thoughts and feelings without fear. Children must be encouraged in classrooms to ask questions and express their thoughts on subjects to build their cognitive skills.

Practicing honesty and open communications in relationships help people understand each other better and become better partners and friends. Open quotes are the quotes that talk about these concepts.
