A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

It is not truth that matters, but victory

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
