1. honesty

   Truth is primarily and verity is always a quality of thought or speech, especially of speech, as in exact conformity to fact. Veracity is properly a quality of a person, the habit of speaking and the disposition to speak the truth; a habitual liar may on some occasions speak the truth, but that does not constitute him a man of veracity; on the other hand, a person of undoubted veracity may state (through ignorance or misinformation) what is not the truth. Truthfulness is a quality that may inhere either in a person or in his statements or beliefs. Candor, frankness, honesty, and ingenuousness are allied with veracity, and verity with truth, while truthfulness may accord with either. Truth in a secondary sense may be applied to intellectual action or moral character, in the former case becoming a close synonym of veracity; as, I know him to be a man of truth.

1. Stewart Pearce:

   Harry is being completely honest, he’s being honest in a way that we don’t often see because honesty in the royal family is expressed privately.

   Sam Simon brought a level of honesty to the characters, is it too bizarre to say Sam Simon made cartoon characters three-dimensional ? Sam Simon comedy is all about character, not just a string of gags. In' The Simpsons,' the characters are motivated by their emotions and their foibles. ' What are they thinking ?' -- that is Sam's contribution. The stories come from the characters.
