All should be laid open to you without reserve, for there is not a truth existing which I fear, or would wish unknown to the whole world.

Much indeed to be regretted, party disputes are now carried to such a length, and truth is so enveloped in mist and false representation, that it is extremely difficult to know through what channel to seek it. This difficulty to one, who is of no party, and whose sole wish is to pursue with undeviating steps a path which would lead this country to respectability, wealth, and happiness, is exceedingly to be lamented. But such, for wise purposes, it is presumed, is the turbulence of human passions in party disputes, when victory more than truth is the palm contended for.

Truth allows you to live with integrity. Everything you do and say shows the world who you really are. Let it be the Truth.

Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.

Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak.

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