"A talent for truth is real property. If a man loves truth better than things, people like to be around where he is. Almost everybody wishes he could be honest, but you can’t have the spirit of truth when your heart is set on dickering for things. That’s why people hung about this carpenter and listened to everything he said: he had the spirit of truth. Nobody had to be on guard with him; didn’t have to pretend; didn’t have to lie. It made them happy and free as little children."
