Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.

This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly.

Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.

Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.

It is a mistake, too, to say that the face is the mirror of the soul. The truth is, men are very hard to know, and yet, not to be deceived, we must judge them by their present actions, but for the present only.
