Best Quotes about Truth
True, what you sacrifice for the world is but poorly recognized by it; for it is man that rules and reaps the harvest; the thousand night watches and sacrifices by which a mother secures the state a hero or a poet are forgotten, not even mentioned, for the mother herself does not mention them, and so one century after another do the wives, unknown and unrewarded send forth the arrows, the starts the storm-birds and the nightingales of time.
Richter, Jean Paul
Truth will come to light ... at the length, the truth will out.
William Shakespeare
Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Truth is a fruit which should not be plucked until it is ripe.
Voltaire
Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock.
Renard, Jules
We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are.
Truman, Harry S
There is no god higher than truth.
Gandhi, Mahatma
I know now that there is no one thing that is true -- it is all true.
Hemingway, Ernest
We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Camus, Albert
The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.
Sontag, Susan
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
But wonder on, till truth makes all things plain.
William Shakespeare
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
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
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
Mark Twain
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle
Love truth, and pardon error.
Voltaire
Truth is exact correspondence with reality.
Yogananda, Paramahansa
The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide. In this sense, truth, even if it does not prevail in public, possesses an ineradicable primacy over all falsehoods.
Arendt, Hannah
It is always good policy to tell the truth unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar. Jerome K. Jerome It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, go away, I'm looking for the truth. and so it goes away. Puzzling.
Pirsig, Robert M.
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
If I had my hand full of truth, I would take good care how I opened it.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.
Bohr, Niels
When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
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
It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It is your work to clear away the mass of encumbering material of thoughts, so that you may bring into plain view the precious thing at the center of the mass.
Collier, Robert
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
Einstein, Albert
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.
Aristotle
The truth only irritates those it enlightens, but does not convert.
Quesnel, Pasquier
Truth is truth to the end of reckoning.
William Shakespeare
Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.
Woolf, Virginia
Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.
Matthew Arnold
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.
What is true by lamplight is not always true by sunlight.
Joubert, Joseph
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
Huxley, Aldous
We take our shape, it is true, within and against that cage of reality bequeathed us at our birth; and yet is precisely through our dependence on this reality that we are most endlessly betrayed.
Baldwin, James
Truth is reality.
Richards, Mary Caroline
It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.
Balfour, Arthur James
When you want to fool the world, tell the truth.
Bismarck, Otto Von
Peace if possible, but truth at any rate.
Luther, Martin
Everything you add to the truth subtracts from the truth.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
Though I can make my extravaganzas appear credible, I cannot make the truth appear so.
Shaw, George Bernard
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.
Russell, Utterly
Truth is neither alive nor dead; it just aggravates itself all the time.
Twain, Mark
Tell the truth, but tell it slant.
Dickinson, Emily
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
Being free of pretence does not mean you are in touch with the truth. Sincerity is not proof.
A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.
Carrel, Alexis
Of course, it is the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.
Thatcher, Margaret
