Truth Quotes
The way in which a faith community shapes language about God implicity represents what it takes to be the highest good, the profoundest truth, the most appealing beauty. ... While officially it is rightly and consistently said that God is spirit and so beyond identification with either male or female sex, yet the daily language of preaching, worship, catechesis, and instruction conveys a different message: God is male, or at least more like a man than a woman, or at least more fittingly addressed as male than as female.
Elizabeth A. Johnson
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant-- Success in Circuit lies Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth's superb surprise As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind--
Emily Dickinson
I speak the truth, and everybody else knows it.
Jeremy McKinnon
A Day to Remember
It is better by assenting to truth to conquer opinion, than by assenting to opinion to be conquered by truth.
Epictetus
Error is but the shadow of the truth.
Benjamin Stillingfleet
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive.... We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
For ages this idea has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.
Nikola Tesla
Truth is the one thing in nature always consistent with itself, and it is the one guide given to us in steering on the ocean of fate.
Arthur Alfred Lynch
Her heart-is given him, with all its love and truth. She would joyfully die with him, or, better than that, die for him. She knows he has failings, but she thinks they have grown up through his being like one cast away, for the want of something to trust in, and care for, and think well of.
Charles Dickens
Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in The Word.
Jerry Bridges
Marlantes tells us that his road to recovery required learning to tell the truth, even if that truth was brutally painful.
Bessel van der Kolk
The Great Man's sincerity is of the kind he cannot speak of, is not conscious of: nay, I suppose, he is conscious rather of insincerity; for what man can walk accurately by the law of truth for one day? No, the Great Man does not boast himself sincere, far from that; perhaps does not ask himself if he is so: I would say rather, his sincerity does not depend on himself; he cannot help being sincere!
Thomas Carlyle
And what is truth, since it changes according to each individual's perception?
Elizabeth Chadwick
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
In truth we know by experience that song has great force and vigour to move and inflame the hearts of men to invoke and praise God with a more vehement and ardent zeal.
John Calvin
The search for truth takes you where the evidence leads you, even if, at first, you don't want to go there.
Bart Ehrman
Without seeking truth it is unlikely you will find success. The truth very well might set you free, but it’s not always fun. People say they want the truth, but more accurately, they want the truth that is easy to hear. They don’t want the painful truths that don’t support our decisions or force us to accept we were wrong about something. But without truth, you will never be able to course-correct. Putting the company first and your bruised feelings second is an important step in saving your start-up from failure.
Ziad K. Abdelnour
As I see it, Christians should make good art, that shows forth truth & beauty for all, or make art that is for a specific purpose within the church. Making subpar cheesy art for Christians to consume comfortably is a tragedy for everyone.
Dustin Kensrue
So, never be afraid. Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion, against injustice and lying and greed. If you, not just you in this room tonight, but in all the thousands of other rooms like this one about the world today and tomorrow and next week, will do this, not as a class or classes, but as individuals, men and women, you will change the earth.
William Faulkner
Let me put it this way: if 'The Godfather' hadn't been made, 'Sarkaar' wouldn't have been made. That is the truth.
Ram Gopal Varma
But the truth is that L.A. was never entirely real anyway, as Steely Dan, Randy Newman, Warren Zevon, Larry David and Alan Ball all understood.
Barney Hoskyns
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
