Sometimes, when you don't ask questions, it's not because you are afraid that someone will lie to your face. It's because you're afraid they'll tell you the truth.

Ask me no questions, and I will tell you no lies.

Tell the truth. That way you don't have to remember a story.

Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

When in doubt, just spit it out. That all challenges can be overcome by speaking the truth, no matter how itcomes out.

At the outset do not be worried about this big question — Truth. It is a very simple matter if each one of you starts with the desire to get as much as possible. No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.

I am not afraid of the truth, if any one could tell it me, but I am afraid of parts of it impertinently uttered.

When in doubt tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends.

It is possible, even probable, to be told a truth about a place, to accept it, to know it and at the same time not to know anything about it.

It’s always okay to admit when you don’t know something. If you couldn’t do this, you would never truly know anything.

Give me just enough information so that I can lie convincingly.

Can you say something about nothing?

I find relief from the questions only when I concede that I am not obliged to know everything. I remind myself it is sufficient to know what I know, and that what I know, may not always be true.

If you tell the truth you do not need a good memory!
