Proverb

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

23.

How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

33.

What is true by lamplight is not always true by sunlight.

Joubert, Joseph

34.

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

Blake, William

35.

Gibran, Kahlil

37.

The TRUTH: It may not lead you to where you thought you were going, but it will always lead you somewhere better. When ignored, it will eventually show itself. The closeness of your relationships is directly proportional to the degree to which you have revealed the truth about yourself. It can be painful.

38.

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.

Farnham, Eliza

48.

The truth has a million faces, but there is only one truth.

Hesse, Hermann

49.

I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.

Mencken, H. L.

50.

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
