Humor is the good natured side of a truth.

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

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.

The truth hurts, but silence kills.
