Best Quotes about Truth

1.

That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were truths and they were all beautiful.

Anderson, Sherwood

2.

To announce truths is an infallible receipt for being persecuted.

Voltaire

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Roosevelt, Franklin D.

6.

The truth is more important than the facts.

Frank Lloyd Wright

7.

The fundamental laws are in the long run merely statements that every event is itself and not some different event.

Lewis, C. S.

8.

We catch on to the truth and technique of expectation in those rare moments when we are stirred by an awareness of a guidance seemingly higher and greater than our own, when for a little while we are taken over by a force and an intelligence above and beyond those commonly felt. Confident and free, filled with wonder and ready acceptance, we permit ourselves to be taken over by our unquestioning self.

Bach, Dr. Marcus

9.

Truth is a torch that shines through the fog without dispelling it.

Helvetius, Claude A.

10.

It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what. The weird thing about telling someone they're dying is it tends to focus their priorities. You find out what matters to them. What they're willing to die for. What they're willing to lie for.

David Shore

15.

With the truth, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible and pass it on to someone else. As with illness, this is the only way to be cured of it. The person who keeps truth in his hands has lost.

Baudrillard, Jean

16.

Believe those who are seeking truth, doubt those who find it.

Gide, Andre

17.

A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth.

Prentice, George D.

18.

Whatever separates you from the Truth, throw it away, it will vanish anyhow.

Emre, Yumus

19.

Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed, in the second it is opposed, in the third it is regarded as self evident.

Schopenhauer, Arthur

20.

Ceremony leads her bigots forth, prepared to fight for shadows of no worth. While truths, on which eternal things depend, can hardly find a single friend.

Cowper, William

21.

Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.

Pindar

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Mark Twain
