Truth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Truth

1.
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.

2.
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

3.
There is an abiding beauty which may be appreciated by those who will see things as they are and who will ask for no reward except to see.
Brittain, Vera

A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth.
Prentice, George D.

Seabury, David

10.
Men in earnest have no time to waste in patching fig leaves for the naked truth.
Fuller, Max

11.
Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.
Howard, Vernon

12.
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live the best life that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right and part from him when he goes wrong.
Lincoln, Abraham

13.
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

14.
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.
Pancoast, Mal

15.
Truth uttered before its time is dangerous.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

16.
Peace if possible, but truth at any rate.
Luther, Martin

17.
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Lincoln, Abraham

18.
There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth.
Butler, Samuel

19.
Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.
Dickinson, Emily

20.
If I had my hand full of truth, I would take good care how I opened it.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier

21.
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca

22.
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

23.
When the dictators and the opportunists are gone, the cross will still stand before us and something in us will say, That is the real thing.
Sockman, Ralph W.

24.
Truth is the greatest gift of life and love is the exercise of that truth.

25.
Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.
Disraeli, Benjamin

26.
Your real boss is the one who walks around under your hat.
Hill, Napoleon

27.
Truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.
Gordimer, Nadine

28.
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as judge in the field of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.
Einstein, Albert

29.
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

30.
Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense.
Rosten, Leo

Gibran, Kahlil

32.
