Truth Quotes
-
Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before, that someone who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair program.
Michael Jackson
-
Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
Gautama Buddha
-
It is not consistent with truth that a man should sacrifice half of his stomach only to God-that he should be sober in drinking, but intemperate in eating. Your belly is your God, your liver is your temple, your paunch is your altar, the cook is your priest, and the fat steam is your Holy Spirit; the seasonings and the sauces are your chrisms, and your belchings are your prophesizing...such a grossly- feeding Christian is akin to lions and wolves rather than God. Our Lord Jesus called Himself Truth and not habit.
Tertullian
-
Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain
Seneca the Younger
-
He must be theory-mad beyond redemption who ... shall ... persist in attempting to reconcile the obstinate oils and waters of Poetry and Truth.
Edgar Allan Poe
-
Holding Amy against me, I realize the simple truth is that power isn't control at all - power is strength, and giving that strength to others.
Beth Revis
-
The worst service, I fancy, that anyone can do for truth, is to set silly people writing on its behalf.
George Eliot
-
Hide what you have to hide And tell what you have to tell You'll see your problems multiplied If you continually decide To faithfully pursue The policy of truth
William Batchelder Greene
-
Unlike Descartes, we own and use our beliefs of the moment, even in the midst of philosophizing, until by what is vaguely called scientific method we change them here and there for the better. Within our own total evolving doctrine, we can judge truth as earnestly and absolutely as can be, subject to correction, but that goes without saying.
Willard Van Orman Quine
-
There is a great deal we never think of calling religion that is still fruit unto God, and garnered by Him in the harvest. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, patience, goodness. I affirm that if these fruits are found in any form, whether you show your patience as a woman nursing a fretful child, or as a man attending to the vexing detail of a business, or as a physician following the dark mazes of sickness, or as a mechanic fitting the joints and valves of a locomotive; being honest true besides, you bring forth truth unto God.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
To know, to get into the truth of anything, is ever a mystic art, of which the best logic's can but babble on the surface.
Thomas Carlyle
-
It is better by assenting to truth to conquer opinion, than by assenting to opinion to be conquered by truth.
Epictetus
