We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said, that "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

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

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Humor is the good natured side of a truth.

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.

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