Candor is a compliment; it implies equality. It's how true friends talk.

Peggy Noonan, in What I Saw at the Revolution : A Political Life in the Reagan Era (1990), p. 321Peggy Noonan
When we talk of the equality of man, we find, also, a challenge and an opportunity; a challenge to breathe new life into the ideals enshrined in the Charter, an opportunity to bring men closer to freedom and true equality. and thus, closer to a love of peace.
The goal of the equality of man which we seek is the antithesis of the exploitation of one people by another with which the pages of history and in particular those written of the African and Asian continents, speak at such length.
Exploitation, thus viewed, has many faces. But whatever guise it assumes, this evil is to be shunned where it does not exist and crushed where it does.Haile I Selassie
He had 'impish candor', to borrow one of his own phrases. Candor, indeed, was one of his deepest veins.
Robert H. Jackson
Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.
Washington Irving
The result of cutting [political power] up into little bits is simply that the man who can sweep the greatest number into one heap will govern the rest... In a pure democracy the ruling men will be the wirepullers and their friends; but they will no more be on an equality with the voters than soldiers of Ministers of State are on an equality with the subjects of monarchy.
James Fitzjames Stephen
Unreason and anti-intellectualism abominate thought. Thinking implies disagreement; and disagreement implies nonconformity; and nonconformity implies heresy; and heresy implies disloyalty — so, obviously, thinking must be stopped. But shouting is not a substitute for thinking and reason is not the subversion but the salvation of freedom.
Adlai Stevenson
