In the book
As Confucius warned, the one who merely knows the truth is not the equal of the one who loves it — and to deliberately distort or lie about a truth you know is to act far below yourself. Honor the people who are still seeking the truth, and be a little wary of those certain they have already found it. The strength of a person's spirit, Nietzsche said, can be measured by how much truth he can tolerate — how little he needs it softened, disguised, and sweetened. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
