“Associate yourself with men of good quality, if you esteem your reputation. Be not apt to relate news, if you know not the truth thereof. Speak no evil of the absent, for it is unjust. Undertake not what you cannot perform, but be careful to keep your promise. There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth, and pursue it steadily. Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy nation.”

“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.”

“The truth is always the strongest argument.”

“What people believe prevails over the truth.”

“Aristotle was once asked what those who tell lies gain by it. Said he - That when they speak truth they are not believed.”

“Hard are the ways of truth, and rough to walk.”

“Once your soul has been enlarged by a truth, it can never return to its original size.”
