Look into any man's heart you please, and you will always find, in every one, at least one black spot which he has to keep concealed. (Quote by - Henrik Ibsen)

It's wrong that the Imperial Household Agency controls archives of the Showa Era and denies Japanese people access to imperial documents that could shed light on the political process during the Showa Era. That process led to disaster, and Japanese people will be constantly assessing this. They need all the information and all the data they can possibly get. Bureaucratic habits of secrecy aren't going to help the situation. (Quote by - Herbert Bix)

Secrecy is for the happy,--misery, hopeless misery, needs no veil; under a thousand suns it dares act openly. (Quote by - Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller)

The wise man tells not what he knows. It is not prudent to sport with one's head by revealing the king's secrets. (Quote by - Muslih-un-Din Sadi)

While all deception requires secrecy, all secrecy is not meant to deceive. (Quote by - Sissela Bok)

I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself. (Quote by - M. Night Shyamalan)

Abuse exists because of secrecy. If I can use this platform and talk about it and break the silence, somebody can get the help and support they need. It's such a common problem, and it doesn't need to be. All you have to do is talk about it and break the silence. (Quote by - Chris Witty)

There is no doubt that constitutional freedoms will never be abolished in one fell swoop, for the American people cherish their freedoms, and would not tolerate such a loss if they could perceive it. But the erosion of freedom rarely comes as an all-out frontal assault but rather as a gradual, noxious creeping, cloaked in secrecy, and glossed over by reassurances of greater security. (Quote by - Robert Byrd)

What is mine, even to my life, is hers I love; but the secret of my friend is not mine! (Quote by - Sir Philip Sidney)

Even in your thought, do not curse the king, nor in your bedchamber curse the rich; for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter. (Quote by - Bible)

All classes of society are trade unionists at heart, and differ chiefly in the boldness, ability, and secrecy with which they pursue their respective interests. (Quote by - W. Stanley Jevons)

This is not a matter of red versus blue. Conservatives desire a government that does not exceed its legitimate authority. Liberals desire a government that is accountable and responsive to the needs of the public. But secrecy thwarts both of those desires. (Quote by - James Neff)

A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. (Quote by - James Madisom)

There are more secrets, but there is not more secrecy. (Quote by - Steven Garfinkel)

Silence and secrecy has been the most frustrating component of this case. It just seems inhumane that information about this child can be forbidden on the theory that it's somehow protecting her privacy, when you consider that this child almost died under the state's care. (Quote by - Wendy Murphy)

Tis in my memory lock'd, And you yourself shall keep the key of it. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)

The San Francisco Chronicle unconditionally stands by its reporters in fighting this effort by the government to force them to reveal their confidential sources. Reporters are not subject to the rules governing grand jury secrecy, which apply only to some of the people in the room during those proceedings. (Quote by - Phil Bronstein)

Power corrupts, and there is nothing more corrupting than power exercised in secret. (Quote by - Daniel Schorr)

There are inscriptions on our hearts which, like that on, Dighton rock, are never to be seen, except at dead-low tide. (Quote by - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.)

At that time we were very definitely told that under no circumstances should there be any secret chapters or any other secrecy in the life of the Party, but that everything should be done publicly. (Quote by - Fritz Sauckel)

When the state constitution grants each citizen an inalienable right to privacy, i s talking about individuals seeking safety from an overreaching government, not an elected official trying to evade the oversight of constituents. I s the difference between seeking protection from tyranny and seeking protection from democracy. (Quote by - Jon Mendelson)

The time has come to lift the veil of secrecy, and let the truth emerge, so there can be a real and informed debate, about one of the most important problems facing our planet today. (Quote by - Paul Hellyer)

In love we are not only liable to betray ourselves, but also the secrets of others. (Quote by - Jean-Antoine Petit-Senn)

Secrecy can be a killer. Many couples get married in their late 20s or even early 30s and are used to being independent. Having separate accounts allows the couple to maintain some financial independence while being completely open about it. (Quote by - Sheryl Garrett)

We're talking about grand jury secrecy in part, and we're talking about a different type of motion that has been filed under seal and is to remain under seal until the court orders its disclosure. (Quote by - George Shaffer)
