Truth Quotes
-
And what delights can equal those That stir the spirit's inner deeps, When one that loves but knows not, reaps A truth from one that loves and knows?
Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
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
-
Do the truth quietly without display.
Brennan Manning
-
In any field, the Establishment is seldom in pursuit of the truth, because it is composed of those who sincerely believe that they are already in possession of it.
Edwin Thompson Jaynes
-
The act of witnessing is important to me; somebody's got to tell the truth, you know what I mean?
Athol Fugard
-
Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth; give him too much, the same.
Blaise Pascal
-
Truth exists independent of style. It involves all kinds of issues. Properly considered, it's a quest, a pursuit. To say that vérité is more truthful than something that is narrated is just misplaced. Completely wrong. And the fact that people still talk about it as though they're really talking about something... it puzzles me greatly. A moment of reflection about it tells you that it makes no sense!
Errol Morris
-
History is changed by martyrs who tell the truth.
Miguel Syjuco
-

Brenna Yovanoff
-
As an actor, your main goal is to tell the truth.
Johnathon Schaech
-
Truth is not something you can appropriate easily and quickly. You certainly cannot sleep or dream yourself to the truth. No, you must be tried, do battle, and suffer if you are to acquire the truth for yourself. It is a sheer illusion to think that in relation to the truth there is an abridgement, a short cut that dispenses with the necessity for struggling for it.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
The truth must essentially be regarded as in conflict with this world; the world has never been so good, and will never become so good that the majority will desire the truth.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
The power of the voice in rap is about the expression of truth, rather than the expression of some kind of artifice.
Eliza Griswold
-
Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.
Thomas Carlyle
-
He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.
Thomas Aquinas
-
The closer a horror story gets to the truth of things, the more affective it is going to be.
Paul G. Tremblay
-
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
-
Ingenuity was apparently given man in order that he may supply himself in crisis with shapes and sounds with which to guard himself from truth.
William Faulkner
