Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.

It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

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

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

It is not truth that matters, but victory

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.
