The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.
“诚实是最好的政策”这句陈词滥调遭到了“诚实不是政策”的公正批评。真正诚实的人,诚实来自于对正确的信念,而不是政策。

并不是因为真相太难看清,我们才会犯错……我们会犯错,因为对我们来说,最简单、最舒服的方法就是寻找符合我们情感的洞察力——尤其是自私的情感。
