The young man turned to him with a disarming candour which instantly put him on his guard.

All people know the same truth; our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.

The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.

Truth does not consist in never lying but in knowing when to lie and when not to do so.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Anything more than the truth would be too much.

No blame should be attached when telling the truth. But it does, it does.

There are few nudities so shocking as the naked truth.

How awful to reflect that what people say of us is true.
