I don’t see anything that’s come out on WikiLeaks that was a legitimate secret.

WikiLeaks is a service to the population. Assange should get an award for – presidential medal of honor.

Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.

I just think you ought to talk straight with your people.

To the extent I am known, I think I am known as a person who expresses his opinion freely about things – and I was sensitive to the possibility that if I was seen taking money for saying nice things about a product, my comments and choices and opinions would become, understandably, suspect.

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers.

For my own part, I would rather excel in knowledge of the highest secrets of philosophy than in arms.

There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.

There is not a truth existing which I fear… or would wish unknown to the whole world.

Remember: your bosses prefer to keep you in dependent positions. It is in their interest that you do not become self-reliant, and so they will tend to hoard information. You must secretly work against this and seize this information for yourself.

The problem with EMMA is that it is cost prohibitive for the small investors who were supposed to benefit from the new transparency.

Well the protester I think is a very powerful thing. It’s basically a mechanism of democracy that, along with capitalism, scientific innovation, those things have built the modern world. And it’s wonderful that the new tools have empowered that protestor so that state secrets, bad developments are not hidden anymore.

Nature is wont to hide herself.

Light is the greatest disinfectant in nature and also in organizations.

My friends tease me about the fact that if someone seems bad or shady or like they have a secret, I find them incredibly interesting.

I particularly like Twitter, because it’s short and can be very funny and informative. It’s a little bit like having your own radio program.

A good many things go around in the dark besides Santa Claus.

Our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan.

In the 21st century, the countries that thrive will be the ones where citizens know their voices will be heard because the institutions are transparent.

My fans don’t feel like I hold anything back from them. They know whatever I’m going through now, they’ll hear about it on a record someday. They’ll hear the real story. There’s a little bit of lag time. It’s not as instant as going on a gossip blog. But it’s much more accurate.

No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues.

If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one.

The spread of online information isn’t just good for charities. It’s also good for donors. You can go to a site like Charity Navigator, which evaluates nonprofits on their financial health as well as the amount of information they share about their work.

Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.

It’s time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.

Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.

Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.

The thing about the truth is, not a lot of people can handle it.

Everything is an open book. I don’t speak on other people’s hardship, but if it happened in my life or something that has been an experience on my particular journey, I’m going to talk about it. That’s what my fan base appreciates the most. I’m universal. You can relate to the things I say or that I go through.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

The time has come for all evangelists to practice full financial disclosure. The world is watching how we walk and how we talk. We must have the highest standards of morality, ethics and integrity if we are to continue to have influence.

There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.

I’ll never tell a lie. I’ll never make a misleading statement. I’ll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I’ll never avoid a controversial issue.

I’m actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, ‚Man, I said too much.‘ It’s hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.

To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.

I’ve got nothing to hide.

In matters of truth the fact that you don’t want to publish something is, nine times out of ten, a proof that you ought to publish it.

Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.

We talk about this concept of openness and transparency as the high-level ideal that we’re moving towards at Facebook. The way that we get there is by empowering people to share and connect. The combination of those two things leads the world to become more open.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

Although designers continue to dream of ‚transparency‘ – technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt – both creators and audiences actually like technologies with ‚personality.‘

There is a need for aloneness, which I don’t think most people realise for an actor. It’s almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you’ll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you’re acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They’d all like sort of a chunk of you.

If I’ve got a problem with one of my clients that needs to get solved, guess what I’m going to do? I’m going to call them up, and I’m going to say, ‚Hey, here’s what’s going on. This is the situation. This thing went sideways. I didn’t expect it. Now it’s going to take me some more time to get you what you need.‘ But I’m going to do that upfront.

It seems like F1 is kind of going down that route, opening it up more to the public and letting them know what is going on, what you do, instead of just driving and going home.

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.

For the chorus of ‚Secrets,‘ we used The Romantics‘ ‚Talking in Your Sleep‘ and ‚Pale Shelter‘ by Tears for Fears. It’s like hip-hop: just grab it.

Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.

Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.

The secret of being a bore… is to tell everything.

A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they get into office. Just the opposite, in fact. Because the minute that individual takes that oath, they are under the hottest, harshest light there is. And there is no way to hide who they really are.

You know you’re not anonymous on our site. We’re greeting you by name, showing you past purchases, to the degree that you can arrange to have transparency combined with an explanation of what the consumer benefit is.

Transparency at the MSRB is dubious with data downloads too costly for all but the Vanguards of the world.

I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record.

Yeah, I’m an open book.

People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people – and that social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

The American people are entitled to see the president and to hear his views directly, and not to see him only through the press.

Governments regard their own citizens as their main enemy, and they have to be – protect themselves. That’s why you have state secret laws. Citizens are not supposed to know what their government is doing to them.

It’s against all of our policies for an application to ever share information with advertisers.

To restore the trust of the people, we must reform the way the government operates.

We don’t hide our space program. We don’t keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That’s the way freedom is, and we wouldn’t change it for a minute.
