It wasnt over, it had only begun. Well ok then, Okay.”

“Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

“The highest compact we can make with our fellow is - "Let there be truth between us two forevermore."”

“People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty.”

“If you tell the truth, you don't need a long memory.”
