Veracity is the heart of morality.

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

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

It wasn't until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say "I don't know."

The truth has no defense against a fool determined to believe a lie.

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true.

Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.
