Baltasar Gracian "Truth sits upon the lips of dying men." Matthew Arnold "Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other." George MacDonald "There is no strength in unbelief. Even the unbelief of what is false is no source of might. It is the truth shining from behind that gives the strength to disbelieve." George MacDonald "All malice has injustice at it's end, an end achieved by violence or by fraud; while both are sins that earn the hate of heaven, since fraud belongs exclusively to man, God hates it more and, therefore, far below, the fraudulent are placed and suffer most." Dante Alighieri "Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit." Edward R. Murrow "The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one." Henry Mencken "I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs." Samuel Goldwyn "Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty." Tacitus "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies." Friedrich Nietzsche "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened." Winston Churchill "Though I am not naturally honest, I am sometimes by chance." William Shakespeare "False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil." Plato "A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar." Mark Twain "Liars when they speak the truth are not believed." Aristotle "I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life, I hope I may be prepared to give it." Mahatma Gandhi "Great liars are also great magicians." Adolf Hitler "It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime." Thomas Paine "This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." William Shakespeare "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."
