There is no future for a people who deny their past.

We are all jellyfish, too pitiful and too afraid of being disliked to be honest.

Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?

Honesty is one part of eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.

The underlying sickness of human life is an unwillingness to look with open eyes at the condition of the world.

Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty.

I would say that today, dishonesty is the rule, and honesty the exception. It could be, statistically, that more people are honest than dishonest, but the few that really control things are not honest, and that tips the balance.

Honesty is praised and starves.
