Truth

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

Best Quotes about Truth

They breathe truth that breathe their words in pain.

William Shakespeare

True merit is like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.

Halifax, Edward F.

The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.

Herbert Agar

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

Walters, Hellmut

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Oscar Wilde

You'll never get mixed up if you simply tell the truth. Then you don't have to remember what you have said, and you never forget what you have said.

Rayburn, Sam

Just because you can laugh doesn't mean you can't tell the truth. Truth is often the jester.

Truth can be a dangerous thing. It is quite patient and relentless.

Richards, R. Scott

Sockman, Ralph W.

Huxley, Aldous

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.

Blake, William

Our job is only to hold up the mirror -- to tell and show the public what has happened.

Cronkite, Walter

It is the fate of new truths to begin as heresies and end and superstitions.

Huxley, Thomas H.

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

Churchill, Winston

Truth is something which can't be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.

Nin, Anais

The ultimate aim of the human mind, in all its efforts, is to become acquainted with Truth.

Farnham, Eliza

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

The fact, if they are there, speak for themselves.

Seabury, David

Everyone wishes to have truth on his side, but not everyone wishes to be on the side of truth.

Whately, Richard

A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.

Carrel, Alexis

Though I can make my extravaganzas appear credible, I cannot make the truth appear so.

Shaw, George Bernard

The truth simply is that's all. It doesn't need reasons: it doesn't have to be right: it's just the truth. Period.

Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)

Turns out if you never lie, there's always someone mad at you.

Scott Westerfeld

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

There is no power on earth more formidable than the truth.

Runbeck, Margaret Lee

This does not make the authors of those narratives liars; it makes them servants of fallible human memory and perception.

Tom Bissell

Dickinson, Emily

We know how to speak many falsehoods that resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.

Hesiod

Say not,'I have found the truth,'but rather,'I have found a truth.'

Kahlil Gibran

While you live tell the truth and shame the devil.

Shakespeare, William

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

Hesse, Hermann

I guess sometimes you have to lie to find the truth.

Scott Westerfeld

The people have a right to the truth as they have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Epictetus

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Roosevelt, Franklin D.

Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.

Ballou, Hosea

You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery.

Davies, Robertson
