The genuine truth and I do think about this a lot is that I'm one of the least competitive people you'll ever meet. Except with myself.
Children say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.
A biblical false prophet was a servant of the devil attempting to lead people away from the truth.
The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions.
Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth as if the taste of lies was homey appetizing: a habit.
Some people are desperately looking for scapegoats they just don't want to see the truth!
Everybody now admits that apartheid was wrong and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political I can't do anything about that.
Never underestimate people. They do desire the cut of truth.
I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It is the truth.
Because no matter what you say in life the truth will always be the truth. You know when someone is telling the truth you look in the eyes. I have a tendency to believe people.

The truth is the secular world isn't too enamored with Jesus. And they're not too enamored with someone who is leading people to Jesus. So if you're out there talking about people's sins and you're talking about righteousness you will get pushback. Jesus Himself did. The apostles did. I mean there's persecution all up and down the line.

When I grew up in Taiwan the Korean War was seen as a good war where America protected Asia. It was sort of an extension of World War II. And it was of course the peak of the Cold War. People in Taiwan were generally proAmerican. The Korean War made Japan. And then the Vietnam War made Taiwan. There is some truth to that.
Fiction is a kind of compassion-generating machine that saves us from sloth. Is life kind or cruel? Yes Literature answers. Are people good or bad? You bet says Literature. But unlike other systems of knowing Literature declines to eradicate one truth in favor of another.

There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.
The lowest form of popular culture - lack of information misinformation disinformation and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people's lives - has overrun real journalism. Today ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.

Most people think that shadows follow precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words ideas desires deeds impulses and memories.

People will tell you anything but what they do is always the truth.
Truth is a demure lady much too ladylike to knock you on your head and drag you to her cave. She is there but people must want her and seek her out.
