The truth hurts, but silence kills.

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.

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
