Herbert AgarThe truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.
About This Quote
"Truth" is a difficult thing to define, but it is a particularly difficult thing to tell. It is the truth that makes men free. In the past, many people were trapped by fear, fear of punishment or fear of death. Fear can be a powerful weapon.
Many people were afraid to say what they thought, afraid to question authority or afraid to speak out against wrongdoers. Those who tell the Truth often pay a high price for it because those in power sometimes do not like to hear the truth and will go to great lengths to stop those who tell the truth from speaking out.
