tl;dr it's not a direct quote, but the very same concept was expressed in sutra:
says only what it well-spoken, not what is poorly spoken; only what is just, not what is unjust; only what is endearing, not what is unendearing; only what is true, not what is false
- chandureddyvari 5y agoActual source(Manu smriti Verse 4.138) quotes: 'Satyam bruyat priyam bruyat. Na bruyat satyam apriyam. Priyam cha nanrutham bruyat. Esha dharmah sanatanah’ This somewhat means, ‘Speak the truth that is pleasant. Never speak the truth that is unpleasant. And, never speak the untruth even if it’s pleasant. This is eternal philosophy of righteousness.” More commentary here: https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/manusmriti-with-the-commentary-of-medhatithi/d/doc200246.html https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/manusmriti-with-the-...
