The truth brings no man a fortune.

About This Quote

When we think of truth, we often think of facts and figures. Counting on facts and figures is the same as counting on a billfold full of money. We can go to our local bank and draw out all the money we need. Then we can hide it somewhere and live off that for the rest of our lives. The truth is not like that.
