- Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)

Best Quotes about Truth

The dissident does not operate in the realm of genuine power at all. He is not seeking power. He has no desire for office and does not gather votes. He does not attempt to charm the public, he offers nothing and promises nothing. He can offer, if anything, only his own skin -- and he offers it solely because he has no other way of affirming the truth he stands for. His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost.

Havel, Vaclav

I tell the truth, not as much as I would like to, but as much as I dare. I dare more and more as I grow older.

All the others lie.

Weil, Simone

What is true belongs to me!

Seneca

Eclecticism. Every truth is so true that any truth must be false.

Halifax, Edward F.

Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.

Lowell, James Russell

Morgan, John Pierpont

11.

While you live tell truth and shame the devil.

14.

Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.

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

20.

The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.

We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are.

Truman, Harry S

25.

Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.

Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

26.

There is an element of truth in every idea that lasts long enough to be called corny.

Berlin, Irving

27.

It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth... and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.

Bacon, Francis

28.

I know now that there is no one thing that is true -- it is all true.

Hemingway, Ernest

29.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
