Telling the truth to people who misunderstand you is generally promoting a falsehood, isn't it?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.
I've always believed you can get closer to the truth by pretending not to speak it.
It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
I have been known for some time as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite.
I insist on the truth. I surround myself with people who tell the truth.
What I'm dealing with is so vast and great that it can't be called the truth. It's above the truth.
Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.
