He had 'impish candor', to borrow one of his own phrases. Candor, indeed, was one of his deepest veins.

Candor is a proof of both a just frame of mind, and of a good tone of breeding. It is a quality that belongs, equally to the honest man and to the gentleman : to the first, as doing to others as we would ourselves be done by; to the last, as indispensable to the liberality of the character.
By candor we are not to understand trifling and uncalled for expositions of truth; but a sentiment that proves a conviction of the necessity of speaking truth, when speaking at all; a contempt for all designing evasions of our real opinions; and a deep conviction that he who deceives by necessary implication, deceives willfully.
In all the general concerns, the publick has a right to be treated with candor. Without this manly and truly republican quality, republican because no power exists in the country to intimidate any from its exhibition, the institutions are converted into a stupendous fraud.James Fenimore Cooper
The Mayor of Candor lied
When he offered me his only daughter
The Mayor of Candor tried
To take her off across the water
What a thing to do to a young man in love
What a thing to do to your daughter.Harry Chapin
Beware the fictionist writing his own life. Even candor becomes a strategy.
Wilfrid Sheed
Candor is always a double-edged sword; it may heal or it may separate.
Wilhelm Stekel
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
