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 only irritates those it enlightens, but does not convert.
It's one thing to say, 'I don't like what you said to me and I find it rude and offensive,' but the moment you threaten violence in return, you've taken it to another level, where you lose whatever credibility you had.
The truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing.
The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent.
Truth is always served by great minds, even if they fight it.
Truth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels.
Telling the truth to people who misunderstand you is generally promoting a falsehood, isn't it?
'Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do.
Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.
