Look beneath the surface. Things are usually very different from how they initially appeared, and ignorance, which didn't look beneath the surface, turns to disillusion when it penetrates to the interior. Falsehood always arrives first; it drags along fools with their endless vulgarity. Truth always arrives last, and late, limping along with Time.

It requires as much caution to tell the truth as to conceal it.

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

A man of honour should never forget what he is because he sees what others are.
