"Silence is the true friend that never betrays."
Confucius
"Every act of dishonesty has at least two victims: the one we think of as the victim, and the perpetrator as well. Each little dishonesty ... makes another little rotten spot somewhere in the perpetrator's psyche."
Lesley Conger
"Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life."
Joseph Conrad
"Every exaggeration of the truth once detected by others destroys our credibility and makes all that we do and say suspect."
Stephen R. Covey
"Habit with him was all the test of truth, It must be right: I've done it from my youth."
George Crabbe
"You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough."
Frank H. Crane
"In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story."
Walter Cronkite
"Existence, as we know it, is full of sorrow. To mention only one minor point: every man is a condemned criminal, only he does not know the date of his execution. This is unpleasant for every man. Consequently every man does everything possible to postpone the date, and would sacrifice anything that he has if he could reverse the sentence. Practically all religions and all philosophies have started thus crudely, by promising their adherents some such reward as immortality. No religion has failed hitherto by not promising enough; the present breaking up of all religions is due to the fact that people have asked to see the securities. Men have even renounced the important material advantages which a well-organized religion may confer upon a State, rather than acquiesce in fraud or falsehood, or even in any system which, if not proved guilty, is at least unable to demonstrate its innocence. Being more or less bankrupt, the best thing that we can do is to attack the problem afresh without preconceived ideas. Let us begin by doubting every statement. Let us find a way of subjecting every statement to the test of experiment. Is there any truth at all in the claims of various religions? Let us examine the question."
Aleister Crowley
"People react to fear, not love- they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true."
Leonardo da Vinci
"Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth or the only truth."
Charles Anderson Dana
"None meet life honestly and few heroically."
Clarence Seward Darrow
"True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else."
Clarence Seward Darrow
"Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coat-tails."
Clarence Seward Darrow
"If what you seek is Truth, there is one thing you must have above all else..an unremitting readiness to admit you may be wrong."
Anthony de Mello
"The truest expression of a people is in its dance and music."
Agnes de Mile
"Consider the problem from the point of view of evil, evil being almost always pleasure's true and major charm; considered thus, the crime must appear greater when perpetrated upon a being of your identical sort than when inflicted upon one which is not, and this once established, the delight automatically doubles."
Marquis de Sade
"Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true."
Demosthenes
"What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice."
Demosthenes
"At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths-your abilities and your failings."
Gérard Depardieu
"Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked for little; by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods."
The Dhammapada
