People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got. Everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with them.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world.

The hero of my tale, whom I love with all the power of my soul, whom I have tried to portray in all his beauty, who has been, is, and will be beautiful, is Truth.

Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction is obliged to stick to probability, and truth ain't.

Among other common lies, we have the silent lie - the deception which one conveys by simply keeping still and concealing the truth. Many obstinate truth-mongers indulge in this dissipation, imagining that if they speak no lie, they lie not at all.

When in doubt tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends.
