Secrets define us, they mark us, they set us apart from all the others. The secrets which we preserve provide a key to who we are, deep down.

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

Guard more faithfully the secret which is confided to you than the money which is entrusted to your care.

Nothing is hidden from the eyes of the observing world.

If the world were good for nothing else, it is a fine subject for speculation.

There is a sickness among tyrants: they cannot trust their friends.

There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little.
