It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nobody speaks the truth when there is something they must have.
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it.
We must distinguish between speaking to deceive and being silent to be reserved.
To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
The opportunity to declare a truth may come when we least expect it. Let us be prepared.
The truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
It does not require many words to speak the truth.
