说真话，当你发现有些真话说出来可能会效果不好，那就注意说话的技巧，宁可说一半，说的外交辞令些，也不要说瞎话。

Tell the truth. When you find some true words won't work well, then pay attention to the speech skills: say half of them or say them in a diplomatic way rather than lie.

youdao

For I did not take pleasure as the multitude does in those who say many things, but in those who teach the things that are true.

因为我不像多数人一样,喜欢那些夸夸其谈的人，我喜欢那些说真话的人。
