“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”

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

“Remember what I’ve told you. Looks can often deceive you. A poor man can don the robes of a prince and a prince can be shoeless in the street. We judge people by what their actions are, not by the clothes they wear. (Eleni)”

“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.”

“We are all created to be miserable, and that we all know it, and all invent means of deceiving each other. And when one sees the truth, what is one to do?”

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