Truth

We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.

Truth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Truth

1.
The truth only irritates those it enlightens, but does not convert.
Quesnel, Pasquier

Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.
Berenson, Bernard

See it like it is!
Cohen, Herb

4.
Truth is a fruit which should not be plucked until it is ripe.
Voltaire

5.
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
Blake, William

6.
You ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true. You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would not do. If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have injured your folks; you have been false to them all.
Guest, Edgar A.

7.
One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant.
Locke, John

8.
Truth arises more readily from error than from confusion.
Bacon, Francis

To be persuasive, we must be believable. To be believable, we must be credible. To be credible, we must be truthful.
Walters, Hellmut

10.
It is the fate of new truths to begin as heresies and end and superstitions.
Huxley, Thomas H.

11.
Truth is always the strongest argument.
Sophocles

12.
Effective thinking consists of being able to arrive at the truth; truth being defined as that which exists.
Hall, Calvin S.

13.
People deserve... the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
Springsteen, Bruce

14.
There's no one thing that is true. They're all true.
Hemingway, Ernest

15.
The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.
Zola, Emile

16.
Always tell the truth -- it's the easiest thing to remember.
Mamet, David

17.
Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Bible

18.
Truth is neither alive nor dead; it just aggravates itself all the time.
Twain, Mark

19.
Truth is always strange, stranger than fiction.
Byron, Lord

20.
Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.
Abraham Lincoln

21.
A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.
Augustine, St.

22.
Receiving a new truth is like adding a new sense.
Liebig

23.
Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.
Stevens, Wallace

24.
Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
Quintus Septimius Tertullianus

25.
Truth is the greatest gift of life and love is the exercise of that truth.

26.
The true snob never rests: there is always a higher goal to attain, and there are, by the same token, always more and more people to look down upon.
Lynes, Russell

27.
Nothing is poorer than a truth expressed as it was thought. Committed to writing in such cases, it is not even a bad photograph. Truth wants to be startled abruptly, at one stroke, from her self-immersion, whether by uproar, music or cries for help.
Benjamin, Walter

28.
Why abandon a belief merely because it ceases to be true? Cling to it long enough and... it will turn true again, for so it goes. Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.
Frost, Robert

29.
The wise boldly pick up a truth as soon as they hear it. Don't wait or a moment, or you'll lose your head.
Hsueh-Dou

30.
One universe made up all that is; and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.
Aurelius, Marcus

31.
I have been truthful all along the way. The truth is more interesting, and if you tell the truth you never have to cover your tracks.
Real Live Preacher

32.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
Churchill, Winston

33.
there is no such thing as a harmless truth.
Nunn, Gregory

34.
Truth is a torch that shines through the fog without dispelling it.
Helvetius, Claude A.

35.
The open-minded see the truth in different things: the narrow-minded see only the differences.

36.
If ever we hear a case of lying, we must look for a severe parents. A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt as dangerous.
Alder, Alfred

37.
Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
Gandhi, Mahatma

38.
How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

39.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed.
Blake, William

40.
Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.
Lowell, James Russell

41.
True merit is like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.
Halifax, Edward F.

42.
Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock.
Renard, Jules

43.

44.
Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense.

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

49.
Say not, I have found the truth, but rather, I have found a truth.
Gibran, Kahlil

50.
There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth.
Butler, Samuel
