If you tell the truth about how you're feeling, it becomes funny.

The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.

The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit.

If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth.

The truth doesn't hurt unless it ought to.
