 Truth, like life, is often a very funny thing. 

Truth, like life, is often a very difficult thing to bear. 

I try to believe that I’m an honest man. I haven’t much claim to being a distinguished man or particularly proper, but It’s been said that I am honest.

Truth, like life, is often a liberating thing. 

Truth, like life, is often a solitary thing.
