Rudy Giuliani

To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth… and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.

When in doubt tell the truth.

Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.

Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn’t.

A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.

The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.

Do not seek the truth, only cease to cherish your opinions.

Lying rides upon debt’s back.

Why shouldn’t truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.

For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.

History is strewn thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill, but a lie, well told, is immortal.

Man has always sacrificed truth to his vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives by makebelieve.

There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth.
