Quote

Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.

All men wish to have truth on their side; but few to be on the side of truth.

An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.

Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.

The right I claim is that of every human being to speak what he believes to be the truth to whomever he may meet on his way.

No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.

We learn best to listen to our own voices if we are listening at the same time to other women - whose stories, for all our differences, turn out, if we listen well, to be our stories also.

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
