One of the best things about telling the truth is that
you don't have to remember what you said.
(A good liar needs an excellent memory)
No real gentleman will tell the naked truth in the presence of ladies.
Mark Twain
It is hard to believe that someone is telling the truth when you are quite sure that if you were in his place you would lie.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in posession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.
To a man of a mathematical turn of mind to a student and lover of the exact sciences these inaccuracies of expression this inability to understand exactly how things are must be a constant source of annoyance; and to one who, like myself, writes this turn of mind to an ardent love of truth, for its own sake the reflection that the English language does not enable us to speak the truth with exactness (hello, mr. president!), is peculiarly painful.
John Phoenix, A New System of English Grammar, 1854.
Truth can be a strange and wonderous beast that is not for the feint hearted. In Australia we currently have a government which dramatically manipulates the truth of many situations to try and stay in power. It is currently dening the existance of a generation of Australian Aboriginal children that were forcibly taken from their parents by the government from the the 1920s to the 1970s in an attempt to assimilate them into the white population
The thing you tell people when you just can't think of anything else.
Truth rises above mere consideration of good and evil and becomes something more than the sum of its parts.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
