Truth

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.
Truth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Truth

1.
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.
Pancoast, Mal

2.
How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

3.
Your real boss is the one who walks around under your hat.
Hill, Napoleon

4.
Of course, it is the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.
Thatcher, Margaret

5.
Truth is exact correspondence with reality.
Yogananda, Paramahansa

6.
Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.
Howard, Vernon

7.
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle

8.
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

9.
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.
Russell, Utterly

10.
The most natural beauty in the world is honesty and moral truth. For all beauty is truth. True features make the beauty of the face; true proportions, the beauty of architecture; true measures, the beauty of harmony and music.
Shaftesbury, Lord

11.
You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery.
Davies, Robertson

12.
A new untruth is better than an old truth.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

13.
We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Camus, Albert

14.
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

15.
Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.
Herbert, Frank

16.
It's essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life's pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected.
Bradshaw, John

17.
But wonder on, till truth makes all things plain.
William Shakespeare

18.
A platitude is simply a truth repeated till people get tired of hearing it.
Baldwin, James

19.
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.
Alder, Alfred

20.
When I tell any truth it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those who do.
Blake, William

21.
When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

22.
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

23.
There's a little truth in all jive, and a little jive in all truth.
Barnes, Leonard

24.
The truth is lived, not taught.
Hesse, Hermann

25.
The truth only irritates those it enlightens, but does not convert.
Quesnel, Pasquier

26.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.
Churchill, Winston

27.
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Lincoln, Abraham

28.
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

29.
The basic truth of all things, as nearly as we may ever dream of determining and knowing this truth, is form, that which is, as it is. The way and shape of the thing no less than the thing itself.
Saroyan, William

30.
There's no one thing that is true. They're all true.
Hemingway, Ernest

31.
Truth is always served by great minds, even if they fight it.
Rostand, Jean

32.
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Kennedy, John F.

33.
Part of my job is to train people to break down an involved question into a series of simple matters. Then we can all act intelligently
Deupree, Richard

34.
The fundamental laws are in the long run merely statements that every event is itself and not some different event.
Lewis, C. S.

35.
It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.
Balfour, Arthur James

36.
I never gave anybody hell! I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Truman, Harry S

37.
It is man that makes truth great, not truth that makes man great.
Confucius

38.
While you live tell truth and shame the devil.
William Shakespeare

39.
Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.
Lowell, James Russell

40.
Too much truth is uncouth.
Adams, Franklin P.

41.
Just because you can laugh doesn't mean you can't tell the truth. Truth is often the jester.

42.
Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than from the arguments of its opposers.
Penn, William

43.
I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

44.

46.
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.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

47.
Men in earnest have no time to waste in patching fig leaves for the naked truth.
Fuller, Max

48.
Truth is not beautiful, neither is ugly, Why should it be either? Truth is Truth.
Middleton, Owen C.

49.
Effective thinking consists of being able to arrive at the truth; truth being defined as that which exists.
Hall, Calvin S.

50.

Gandhi, Mahatma
