There is an inward state of the heart which makes truth credible the moment it is stated. It is credible to some men because of what they are. Love is credible to a loving heart; purity is credible to a pure mind; life is credible to a spirit in which life beats strongly — it is incredible to other men.

One doesn't bother to believe the credible: the credible is believed already, by definition. There's no adventure of the mind. (1:313)
Northrop Frye
American traditions and the American ethic require us to be truthful, but the most important reason is that truth is the best propaganda and lies are the worst. To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible we must be truthful. It is as simple as that.
Edward R. Murrow
The difference between truth and fiction is that the latter must always be credible in order to work.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
The difference between truth and fiction is that the latter must always be credible in order to work.
Mark Twain
Pfeiffer in particular takes the sort of glamorous yet preposterous part that generally defeats even the best actress and somehow contrives to make it credible every inch of the way.
