Quote from Sophia in Little Sister
Rose: Sorry. Sophia: OK. I got it. My Uncle Carlo always used to say, "Honesty is the best policy." Of course, Uncle Carlo died a penniless drunk. Rose: I don't understand. Sophia: The point is, if you're honest every second of every day, it doesn't always turn out for the best. That was the case with my Uncle Carlo. He honestly remembered the license number of the trigger man in the Sanducci vendetta. Rose: So what you're saying is that because nobody's gonna believe me anyway, I'm better off if I let people find out what's going on for themselves. Sophia: I wouldn't chisel that into a stone tablet, but it sounds serviceable at this hour.
