The truth is, hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.

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

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you're right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.

Truth is as hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.

A man of truth must ever be confident, if he has also equal need to be diffident.
