“Lying can never save us from another lie.”

“For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.” “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Lying can only bring about despotism (individually and in concert) of a cankered soul(s).

Where Virtue and right convictions reside, Truth and noble courage abide.

Mr. Havel was an immensely courageous man, a true statesman.

Indeed!  Vaclav Havel is a true inspiration.  What a world this would be with more Vaclav Havel's around.
