My truth - what I believe - is that there are no answers here and if you are looking for answers you'd better choose the question carefully.
The great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it.
I'm someone who believes the truth needs to be heard. And if I'm empowered with the truth I'm not going to shut up.
Not that I regret saying what I believed to be the truth but I regret anything that I might have written or spoken that could have been used in a way to help to foster that atmosphere out of which came the loss of life of Brother Malcolm.
Let me get you to understand I don't bully anybody. I stand up for what I believe in and I'm very honest and I always tell the truth. I'm not a liar I'm not manipulative and I don't stab you in your back because I will stab you in your chest.
To become properly acquainted with a truth we must first have disbelieved it and disputed against it.

When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths.
I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side.
Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.
Who never doubted never half believed. Where doubt is there truth is - it is her shadow.
Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it it's true.
It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.
A liar will not be believed even when he speaks the truth.
Ignorance is preferable to error and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.
