The idea of a memoir is to tell the truth. I know that often the truth hurts, but a lie hurts even more.

Rohan Marley

What I've learned about being angry with people is that it generally hurts you more than it hurts them.

Oprah Winfrey

Always communicate no matter how hard it is to tell someone something's wrong. It's worse not to talk about it. I learn this every few years. The truth hurts for 3 days. Lack of truth hurts your whole life.

James Marsters

Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts.

Leslie Nielsen

There is no upside to making a disparaging remark about a colleague. If your remark is accurate, everybody already knows it, so there's no need to point it out. If your remark is inaccurate, you're the one who ends up looking like a jerk.

Travis Bradberry

Is it a stale remark to say that I have constantly found the interest excited at a playhouse to bear an exact inverse proportion to the price paid for admission?

Charles Lamb

People say the truth hurts. Hell no, it hurts even more if you do a whole bunch of foolishness to try and avoid it.

Tyler Perry

My dad don't like lies. He says it hurts people in the long race. He prefers the truth. That hurts them instantly.

Christopher Titus

Everything I do is blown out of proportion. It really hurts my feelings.

Paris Hilton

The truth hurts. It hurts to some people.

Gegard Mousasi

We don't know how large a proportion of the significant evidence about the universe is excluded by science. Perhaps hardly any. Perhaps so great a proportion that any body of knowledge which excludes it is hardly more than a caricature. Perhaps something in between - so that science finds truth but not the whole truth.

Kitty Ferguson

Life hurts at times. It hurts to have a body at times, hurts to be born, hurts to live, hurts to die, but it can be ecstasy beyond comprehension. You can know that ecstasy. It is inside of you.

Frederick Lenz

The truth hurts because it's real. It hurts because it mattered. And that's an important thing to acknowledge to yourself.

John Green

If men were stubborn just in proportion as they were right, stubbornness would take her seat among the virtues; but men are generally stubborn just in proportion as they are ignorant and wrong.

Josh Billings

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche. Let them eat cake. On being told that her people had no bread. Attributed to Marie-Antoinette, but remark is much older. Rousseau refers in his Confessions, 1740, to a similar remark, as a well-known saying. Others attribute the remark to the wife of Louis XIV.

Marie Antoinette

There's an idea I came across a few years ago that I love: My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance and in inverse proportion to my expectations. That's the key for me. If I can accept the truth of 'This is what I'm facing - not what can I expect but what I am experiencing now' - then I have all this freedom to do other things.

Michael J. Fox
