“A truth that's told with bad intentBeats all the lies you can invent.”

“The prince's robes and beggar's rags,Are toadstools on the miser's bags.A truth that's told with bad intent,Beats all the lies you can invent”

“I don't mean to be insolent. I'm truthful. I tell the truth and the truth sometimes hurts. For instance, you have bad breath, Lieutenant. I can smell it from here. It must offend a lot of people. That's the truth. But how many people have told you that? Instead, they either lie or try to avoid your company.”

“Remember, any lie you are told, even deliberately, is often a more significant fact than a truth told in all sincerity.”

“I would assign every lie a color: yellow when they were innocent, pale blue when they sailed over you like the sky, red because I knew they drew blood. And then there was the black lie. That's the worst of all. A black lie was when I told you the truth. ”

“Truth exists, only lies have to be invented.”
