The clearest actions come from truth, not obligation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Truth and mercy require the exertion - never the suppression, of man's noble rights and powers.
Clarity and consistency are not enough: the quest for truth requires humility and effort.
Remember, as long as you live, that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world, with either your conscience or your honor unwounded.
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Truth should not be forced; it should simply manifest itself, like a woman who has in her privacy reflected and coolly decided to bestow herself upon a certain man.
Unless we provide consequences for activities and actions that are wrong, we are not going to get any truth.
As a member of Congress, I strongly believe I have a responsibility to be truthful, even if that means delivering difficult news.
I feel like it's my responsibility and my obligation to stand up and to say that which I believe to be the truth.
There is no truth without responsibility following in its wake.
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
