"Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it."
Tacitus
"Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other."
George MacDonald
"God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Great liars are also great magicians."
Adolf Hitler
"Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified."
GK Chesterton
"Half a truth is often a great lie."
Benjamin Franklin
"He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"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
"I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours."
Hunter S. Thompson
"I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell."
Harry Truman
"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
"If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking...the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind."
Ayn Rand
"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair."
C.S. Lewis
"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
Mark Twain
"Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong."
Thomas Jefferson
"In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."
Winston Churchill
"It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid."
George Bernard Shaw
"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."
Thomas Jefferson
"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place."
Henry Mencken
"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
