Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.

Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.

You're supposed to have friends you can tell anything to.

You want a friend who's going to tell you the truth. That's what it's about. If you don't have a friend who's going to tell you the truth every time something comes up, you feel like he's not a true friend.

You really find out who your friends are and who you can trust. That definitely toughens you.

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

The only problems I've ever had with being honest is telling people how I feel about them or saying how I feel about other people.

Good friends won't let you off the hook when you shouldn't be let off the hook. You can let fall the masks we seem to need to survive in a cutthroat world. There is a value of truth that we typically don't find in other parts of life.

I have a million acquaintances but just two or three true friends. I can't hide anything from them.

I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.
