The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.

Truth seldom lends itself to crisp synopsis.

In my painful experience, the truth may be simple, but it is rarely easy.

""Good stories are rarely true."

The truth is seldom welcome, especially at dinner.

When the truth isn't hopeful, the telling of it is.

...girls, women, are not interested in romance but only facts.

Truth, when not sought after, rarely comes to light.

At times truth may not seem probable.

Human belief is seldom related to truth.

The problem with the truth is, it's so often mild and clichéd.

Many of you have already found out, and others will find out in the course of their lives, that truth eludes us if we do not concentrate our attention totally on it's pursuit. But even while it eludes us, the illusion of knowing it still lingers and leads to many misunderstandings. Also, truth seldom is pleasant; it is almost invariably bitter.

As Gracián said, “The truth is generally seen, rarely heard.

To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.
