“Truth can remain silent. Lies must be spoken.”

“Sometimes, to remain silent is to lie, since silence can be interpreted as assent.”

“He told it as he saw it. His way of lying was to remain silent.”

“Truth is dangerous. It topples palaces and kills kings. It stirs gentle men to rage and bids them take up arms. It wakes old grievances and opens forgotten wounds. It is the mother of the sleepless night and the hag-ridden day. And yet there is one thing that is more dangerous than Truth. Those who would silence Truth’s voice are more destructive by far. It is most perilous to be a speaker of Truth. Sometimes one must choose to be silent, or be silenced. But if a truth cannot be spoken, it must at least be known. Even if you dare not speak truth to others, never lie to yourself.”

“My my, the cruelest lies are often told without a wordMy my, the kindest truths are often spoken, never heard”

“Only good liers can be good at depicting whether the other person is lying or not. A truthful person often remains subdued from the harsh realities of the society.”
