My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts foreign ideas alien philosophies and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

Truth stands even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Ignorance is preferable to error and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.

We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

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

All the religions of the world while they may differ in other respects unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.
