A man who always speaks the truth wholeheartedly is greater than those who do penance and deeds of charity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I say that no man can be greater than the man who bravely and heroically sacrifices his life for the good of others. No man can be greater than the one who meets death face to face, and yet will not shrink from what he believes to be his highest duty.
An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.
A great man does not seek applause or place; he seeks for truth; he seeks the road to happiness, and what he ascertains, he gives to others.
It is not the truth that a man possesses, or believes that he possesses, but the earnest effort which he puts forward to reach the truth, which constitutes the worth of a man.
Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.
When the sacredness of one's word is matched in the attributes of his character throughout, all that constitutes a man, then we find that there is something in a man's life greater than his occupation or his achievements; grander than acquisition or wealth; higher than genius; more enduring than fame.
The object of the superior man is truth.
Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity; and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.
The truthful man is usually a liar.
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
