The Truth, darling. Always the truth. The truth can destroy armies, lay waste to cities, bring the strongest man to his knees and weep at your feet. Always the truth.

That said, I keep a wickedly curved hunting knife lashed to my thigh at all times,.Because while the truth is powerful, it is can slow to work. The truth works like a poison, a virus, worming its way through hearts and minds. It is effective, but there are times you need to cut a bastard and run for the hills. For those situations, I have the honesty of a sharp blade against soft skin.
