Make
yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in
the world.
Thomas Carlyle
Dare
to be true: nothing can need a lie: A fault, which needs it most,
grows two thereby.
George Herbert
I
never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're
afraid.
John Gotti
Worse than telling a lie is spending the rest of your life staying true to a
lie.
Robert Brault
With lies you may get ahead in the world - but you can never go back.
Russian proverb
There
are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and
posthumously.
Thomas Sowell
Men
occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and
hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
A
lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its
pants on.
Winston Churchill
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally
pathological.
Robert Brault
People
who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of
the honesty.
Richard J. Needham
Cherish
the friend who tells you a harsh truth, wanting ten times more to tell you a
loving lie.
Robert Brault
The
highest compact we can make with our fellow is - "Let there be truth
between us two forevermore."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today
I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what
is kind than I am of what is true.
Robert Brault
Society
can exist only on the basis that there is some amount of polished lying and
that no one says exactly what he thinks.
Lin Yutang
There's
one way to find out if a man is honest - ask him. If he says,
"Yes," you know he is a crook.
Groucho Marx
It
is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an
exceptionally good liar.
Jerome K. Jerome
