Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, because you might get a wonderful view from the highest branch, or you might simply get covered in sap, and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors, where it is harder to get a splinter. 
-Lemony Snicket

When I tell any truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do. 
-William Blake


Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
-Leo Tolstoy


 We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter. 
 -Denis Diderot


Look a man in the eye and say what you really think, don't just smile at him and say what you're supposed to think.
-author unknown


Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.
-William Shakespeare


Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
-Henry David Thoreau

To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.
-John Ruskin


 We must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
-George Bernard Shaw


If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.
-Emile Zola
