Truth Quotes
-
The acquisition of the most elementary truth does not devolve upon the individual alone: it is pre-effected in the development of the race.
Ernst Mach
-
Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy.
Anthony Trollope
-

Nathanael Greene

Ashwin Sanghi
-
Something may be fully approved of … well transmitted … well cogitated ... well pondered, yet it may be empty, hollow, and false; but something else may not be well pondered, yet it may be factual, true, and unmistaken. Under these conditions it is not proper for a wise man who preserves truth to come to the definite conclusion: ‘Only this is true, anything else is wrong.
Bhikkhu Bodhi
-
Be careful what you do, because the lie becomes the truth.
Michael Jackson

Of everyone on this ship, even the frozen bodies of my parents, Elder's the only one who handed me truth and waited for me to accept it.
Beth Revis

Looking at yourself against the size of your dream can quickly become more than anyone can handle. The truth us, the plans God has for you are alwas bigger than you are, and they are never going to be something you can pull off easily and in your own strength.
Brian Houston
-
At a distance from the theatre of action, truth is not always related without embellishment, and sometimes is entirely perverted, from a misconception of the causes which produce the effects that are the subjects of censure.
George Washington
-
The truth is true wherever you find it. Remember, sugar is sweet whether you find it in a sugar bowl or a dust pan.
Ernest Holmes
-
Truth gets well if she is run over by a locomotive, while error dies of lockjaw if she scratches her finger.
William Cullen Bryant
-
Only in books has mankind known perfect truth, love and beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
-
Who are the true philosophers? Those whose passion is to love the truth.
Plato
-
If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just man to his enemies but kindness to his friends, he was not wise who said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared to be just to injure any one.
Plato
