Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

诚实的言语并不美丽;漂亮的话不真实。良言并不具有说服力;有说服力的话不好。

-- Lao Tzu 老子
