When written in Chinese the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

My point was that the war was intrinsically wrong and as a result of our participation we haven't improved Australia's security but created a greater danger at home and abroad.

War is the province of danger.

You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.

An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.

Truth uttered before its time is always dangerous.

A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt dangerous.

Truth is always strange stranger than fiction.

It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

For truth is always strange stranger than fiction.
