It's that real pain and that real hilarity that makes life so intriguing.101

Nick TurseYou don't need a digital David Petraeus or a President Bush avatar to distract you from the truth. You don't need to wait decades to have disinformation beamed into your head.

Sharon CreechYoung children are naturally so philosophical. They ask: 'What is real? What is truth?' They have to learn it; they don't automatically know it. To them, it's a game. You can study this for years in college, and yet you probably asked it when you were four or five years old.101
A. B. YehoshuaSo with truth - there is a certain moment when one can say, this is the truth and here I put a dot, a stop, and I go to another thing. A judge has to put an end to a deliberation. But for a historian, there's never an end to the past. It can go on and on and on.101

Francis SpuffordFor a believer, Christian faith is true to the human heart, not in the sense that any old thing we fancy believing in will become conveniently true - but because the complicated truth about our hearts, as we struggle to perceive it, tells us what we are and where we are, and consequently what we need.102

Wallace StevensPerhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake. 102
Alan CohenEverything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good.102
Bob SchiefferThe truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays beyond their meaning, a factor in our economy.102
Bruce FeirsteinTo paraphrase Jane Austen, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a married man in possession of a vast fortune must be in want of a newer, younger wife.102
Cindy SheehanI have been known for some time as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite.102
David HarePurity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.102
Deb CalettiAll of us create our own versions of an event, of our lives, even, not because we're liars, necessarily, but because we can only see and understand the truth from our own viewpoint, and a shifting viewpoint at that.102
Duane MichalsThe question of truth is forever in the air, and people look for it with particular fervor in art.102
Elmer DavisThis nation was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the principle - among others - that honest men may honestly disagree; that if they all say what they think, a majority of the people will be able to distinguish truth from error.102
Lee AtwaterMy illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have. So, from that standpoint, there is some truth and good in everything.102
Maajid NawazThe truth is that just as the 'West' is not a homogenous entity with one view on foreign and domestic policy, nor are Muslims.102
Mary Todd LincolnClouds and darkness surround us, yet Heaven is just, and the day of triumph will surely come, when justice and truth will be vindicated.102
Miguel SyjucoPostmodernism was a reaction to modernism. Where modernism was about objectivity, postmodernism was about subjectivity. Where modernism sought a singular truth, postmodernism sought the multiplicity of truths.102
Paddy ConsidineI don't want to be disrespectful to people who are incredible at their craft, but the truth is, if I didn't get paid for it, I wouldn't act. The best-paying jobs are usually the worst films. You're a very small cog in a big machine.102
Peter AbelardIt is by doubting that we come to investigate, and by investigating that we recognize the truth.102
Peter GuberTruth is a point of view, but authenticity can't be faked.102
Tony SnowTo have faith is to believe in truth, believe that truth confers special power on those lucky enough to get a little insight, and to know in our hearts that all these things come from God, which is why we should never get too cocky about our successes.102
William TyndaleI perceived how that it was impossible to establish the lay people in any truth except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in their mother tongue.102
Adolf LoosBe truthful, nature only sides with truth.102
Bernadette PetersStephen Sondheim told me that Oscar Hammerstein believed everything that he wrote. So there's great truth in the songs, and that's what was so wonderful to find.102
Dan ArielyWe talk about honesty, but the reality is we have lots of human values, and they are not all compatible. We don't always tell the truth about everything, no matter what the consequences.102
Donald DriverYou want a friend who's going to tell you the truth. That's what it's about. If you don't have a friend who's going to tell you the truth every time something comes up, you feel like he's not a true friend.102
Frank NorrisTruth is a thing immortal and perpetual, and it gives to us a beauty that fades not away in time.102
Gao XingjianIt's in literature that true life can be found. It's under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth.102
Hans EysenckI always felt that a scientist owes the world only one thing, and that is the truth as he sees it.102
Harlan HowardCountry music is three chords and the truth.102
James OtisIt is a clear truth that those who every day barter away other men's liberty will soon care little for their own.102
Jeanette WintersonI think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.102
John ColtraneI've always felt that even though a man was not a Christian, he still has to know the truth some way or another. Or if he was a Christian, he could know the truth. The truth itself doesn't have any name on it to me. And each man has to find this for himself, I think.102
John GreenOne of the pitfalls of writing about illness is that it is very easy to imagine people with cancer as either these wise, beyond-their-years creatures or else these sad-eyed, tragic people. And the truth is people living with cancer are very much like people who are not living with cancer.102
Marian KeyesMy truth is that what doesn't kill you makes you weaker rather than stronger, although it makes you wiser.102
Prabal GurungThere is one universal truth: All women, all over the world, want to look beautiful. That is always the theme of my designs.102
Richie SamboraThere's nothing like a love for our children. I love being a papa, and that's the truth.102
Ronald FisherThe tendency of modern scientific teaching is to neglect the great books, to lay far too much stress upon relatively unimportant modern work, and to present masses of detail of doubtful truth and questionable weight in such a way as to obscure principles.102
Sam RayburnYou'll never get mixed up if you simply tell the truth. Then you don't have to remember what you have said, and you never forget what you have said.102
Terry GrossI learned that I never really know the true story of my guests' lives, that I have to content myself with knowing that when I'm interviewing somebody, I'm getting a combination of fact and truth and self-mythology and self-delusion and selective memory and faulty memory.102
Adam GopnikThere are as many attitudes to cooking as there are people cooking, of course, but I do think that cooking guys tend - I am a guilty party here - to take, or get, undue credit for domestic virtue, when in truth cooking is the most painless and, in its ways, ostentatious of the domestic chores.102
Alice HoffmanThe original fairy tale was about the youngest sister going into a room in the castle and finding all the bodies of the wives that came before her - she is confronted with truth, thinking about how often we think we know people and we really don't.102
Bruce WilkinsonI went to Africa without the perspective of a balance between teaching people the truth, which has been my calling, and helping people who have physical problems, like AIDS and orphans and hunger.102
Eric CarrI can't say why people lie; they just do. Everyone has their own reasons for not telling the truth.102
Gavid HoodThe truth about filmmaking is you have all these ideas and you're trying to convince everybody that they should buy into this idea, but at two o'clock in the morning when you're all on your own you're going, 'Geez, I hope I know what I'm doing. I hope this idea is gonna work.'102
Marie de FranceFor above all things Love means sweetness, and truth, and measure; yea, loyalty to the loved one and to your word. And because of this I dare not meddle with so high a matter.102
Randy NeugebauerThe Pledge of Allegiance reflects the truth that faith in God has played a significant role in America since the days of the founding of our country.102
Ann McLane KusterThe truth is that contraception saves lives, prevents unplanned pregnancies, improves outcomes for children and reduces the number of abortions.102
Antonio GramsciTo tell the truth is revolutionary.102
David BaldacciWhy waste time trying to discover the truth, when you can so easily create it?102
Edmond HalleyScarce any problem will appear more hard and difficult, than that of determining the distance of the Sun from the Earth very near the truth: but even this... will without much labour be effected.102
Jim LehrerThere's always a germ of truth in just about everything.102
Ludwig BorneLosing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.102
Mustafa Kemal AtaturkMy people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go.102
Sheri FinkIf you ever face a significant disaster, do your best to keep up the spirits of those around you, act flexibly and creatively to help, try to sort rumors from truth, and remember that the decisions you make will have repercussions after the disaster has passed.102
Amber FreyWhen you're caught up in the storm or, you know, just the turmoil of everything that there is another side and you do get through it. And you know, just standing by the truth and doing the right thing.102
Jennifer MorrisonIf someone's lying about something small, you don't know what else they're lying about. I'm a big girl, I can handle the truth - even if it's not good news.102
Subcomandante MarcosThe word of the oldest of the old of our peoples didn't stop. It spoke the truth, saying that our feet couldn't walk alone, that our history of pain and shame was repeated and multiplied in the flesh and blood of the brothers and sisters of other lands and skies.102
Camillo di CavourI have discovered the art of deceiving diplomats. I tell them the truth and they never believe me.102
J. Edgar HooverAbove all, I would teach him to tell the truth Truth-telling, I have found, is the key to responsible citizenship. The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common: Every single one was a liar.102
Charles Taze RussellTo me it seems as plain as can be that the Bible declares that all the wicked will God destroy; again, that those who, during the Millennial age when brought to a knowledge of the truth, shall prove willful sinners will be punished with everlasting destruction.102
Madeline KahnI find being funny very hard work. I am always asked about it, and I feel guilty saying that, but it's the truth. I love my work, but it ain't easy.102
Albert BarnesIt does not require great learning to be a Christian and be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God.102
Anthony de MelloIt is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth, in which alone it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of human beings to Truth is one of hostility and fear!102
Max BornThe belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world.102
Bob MarleyTruth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. 103
Elvis PresleyTruth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away. 103
Nikola TeslaLet the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.103
Rabindranath TagoreBeauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror. 103
Simone de BeauvoirRepresentation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.103
John KeatsWhat the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth. 103
Michael JacksonIt's a complete lie, why do people buy these papers? It's not the truth I'm here to say. You know, don't judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don't care what the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie.103
Otto von BismarckWhen you want to fool the world, tell the truth.103
Ravi ZachariasWho is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.103

Casey NeistatTruth is so much more interesting than the fiction we're used to.103
Clarence DarrowChase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coat tails.103
DogenIf you cannot find the truth within yourself, where else do you expect to find it?103
Don Miguel RuizBe Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.103
Erwin SchrodingerThe scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.103
George BerkeleyTruth is the cry of all, but the game of few.103
George GissingTime is money says the proverb, but turn it around and you get a precious truth. Money is time.103
Giacomo CasanovaI have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of introducing it into the minds which were ignorant of its charms.103
Greg AndersonThe single overriding objective in wellness is creating constant personal renewal where we recognize and act on the truth that each day is a miraculous gift, and our job is to untie the ribbons. That's the Law of Esprit: living life with joy.103
Gustave FlaubertThere is no truth. There is only perception. 103
Jamaica KincaidI think life is difficult and that's that. I am not at all - absolutely not at all - interested in the pursuit of happiness. I am not interested in the pursuit of positivity. I am interested in pursuing a truth, and the truth often seems to be not happiness but its opposite.103
James A. GarfieldThe truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable. 103
Jean CocteauThe poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.103
Kevin SpaceyIt's so easy for us to misperceive and see the things in others that we want to see. And, when we're wrong, and often we're dead wrong, we miss the truth.103
Louis KahnArchitecture is the reaching out for the truth.103
Lucretia MottWe too often bind ourselves by authorities rather than by the truth.103
NeNe LeakesLet me get you to understand I don't bully anybody. I stand up for what I believe in and I'm very honest and I always tell the truth. I'm not a liar, I'm not manipulative and I don't stab you in your back because I will stab you in your chest.103
Nick HanauerThe truth is that all civic and social change is friction. Politics is friction. The only way you can bend the arc of history is to create that kind of friction, which is something that makes most people incredibly uncomfortable but which, for whatever reason, because of my upbringing or because of my genetics, is something that doesn't bug me.103
Orson Scott CardMetaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.103
Pliny the ElderTruth comes out in wine.103
Roy H. WilliamsHave you heard of this new thing called the internet? It's giving people new expectations. It's allowing them to become their own expert. Knowledge lies anxious at their fingertips. Gloss over the truth in your advertising and you'll quickly be dismissed as a poser.103
TacitusFear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.103
Tom BodettJohn Muir, the famous naturalist, wrote in his journal that you should never go to Alaska as a young man because you'll never be satisfied with any other place as long as you live. And there's a lot of truth to that.103
Vanessa KerryBut one of the things I learned is that when you fight for something you believe in and you tell the truth and you do your best, you can always hold your head up high and no one can take that away from you.103
Vivek WadhwaThe truth is that entrepreneurship is more like a roller coaster ride than a cruise.103
Walter CronkiteIn seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.103
Walter Savage LandorTruth, like the juice of the poppy, in small quantities, calms men; in larger, heats and irritates them, and is attended by fatal consequences in excess.103
XenophanesNo human being will ever know the Truth, for even if they happen to say it by chance, they would not even known they had done so.103
Yann Arthus-BertrandThere is something very utopian about what I do. But utopia is nothing more than a truth that the world is not yet ready to hear.103
Eliezer YudkowskyA burning itch to know is higher than a solemn vow to pursue truth. To feel the burning itch of curiosity requires both that you be ignorant, and that you desire to relinquish your ignorance.103
Emile ZolaThe truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.103
Franz MarcArt is nothing but the expression of our dream; the more we surrender to it the closer we get to the inner truth of things, our dream-life, the true life that scorns questions and does not see them.103
Geoff JohnsThe truth is, we're all cyborgs with cell phones and online identities.103
Gloria EstefanThe sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice.103
James D. WatsonScience moves with the spirit of an adventure characterized both by youthful arrogance and by the belief that the truth, once found, would be simple as well as pretty.103
Jean RostandTruth is always served by great minds, even if they fight it.103
Lillian HellmanWhat a word is truth. Slippery, tricky, unreliable. I tried in these books to tell the truth.103
Michael IgnatieffGenocide is not just a murderous madness; it is, more deeply, a politics that promises a utopia beyond politics - one people, one land, one truth, the end of difference. Since genocide is a form of political utopia, it remains an enduring temptation in any multiethnic and multicultural society in crisis.103
Pearl BaileyYou never find yourself until you face the truth.103
Peter AbelardThe key to wisdom is this - constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth.103
Peter ToshTo have the truth in your possession you can be found guilty, sentenced to death.103
Scott TurowThe truth of the matter is that the people who succeed in the arts most often are the people who get up again after getting knocked down. Persistence is critical.103
Adolf LoosChanges in the traditional way of building are only permitted if they are an improvement. Otherwise stay with what is traditional, for truth, even if it be hundreds of years old has a stronger inner bond with us than the lie that walks by our side.103
Brian GrazerYou have to trust yourself, not research. Not testing. Testing helps, but you have to trust your own taste. If your taste says something isn't any good, don't let research rationalize that out of its own truth.103
John CusackWhen applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.103
Miriam MakebaEverybody now admits that apartheid was wrong, and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political, I can't do anything about that.103
James Howard KunstlerBlack America surely faces an existential crisis, but not the one imagined in the condescending news media - of somehow getting non-black America to be more just and generous. The truth is, we've already been through that, and there is nothing left to do. We're out of 'affirmative actions' of all kinds.103
Moshe SafdieHe who seeks truth shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty shall find vanity. He who seeks order shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed. He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self-expression. He who seeks self-expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance.103
Pierre BayleThe antiquity and general acceptance of an opinion is not assurance of its truth.103
Regis PhilbinI've worked for 55 years. I'm going to take a little time off, to tell you the truth. It's just that now in the last couple of weeks, Gelman is pouring it on. 'Farewell to Regis!' It's getting embarrassing.103
Armistead MaupinI've always believed you can get closer to the truth by pretending not to speak it.103
Christopher McDougallEndurance, after all, is the only reason we even exist. We think of ourselves as nature's deadliest animals, but the truth is, a naked human is the biggest wimp in the wild. We have no fangs, no claws, no strength, and no speed.103
Jacques PrevertWhen truth is no longer free, freedom is no longer real: the truths of the police are the truths of today.103
John BoyegaPortray the world for what it is, and you will find truth.103
Joseph Barber LightfootEternal truth, eternal righteousness, eternal love; these only can triumph, for these only can endure.103
Louis AgassizEvery scientific truth goes through three states: first, people say it conflicts with the Bible; next, they say it has been discovered before; lastly, they say they always believed it.103
Martha GellhornGradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.103
Stephen LaBergeFrom early childhood, I was interested in understanding how the world worked, and assumed I would be some kind of physical scientist or chemist. But the truth was, I didn't know there was another kind of world, the inner world, that was just as interesting, if not more relevant, than what was going on in the outside world.103
June JordanIn the process of telling the truth about what you feel or what you see, each of us has to get in touch with himself or herself in a really deep, serious way.103
Roger BaconArgument is conclusive, but it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment.103
Arthur BalfourIt is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.103
Conor McGregorThe thing about the truth is, not a lot of people can handle it.104
Jean-Jacques RousseauFalsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being.104
Leo TolstoyTruth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.104
Nicolaus CopernicusSo far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it.104
AesopA liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth. 104
John Keats'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. 104
Abu BakrI have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right. Sincere regard for truth.104
Albert PikeThe universal medicine for the Soul is the Supreme Reason and Absolute Justice; for the mind, mathematical and practical Truth; for the body, the Quintessence, a combination of light and gold.104
Barbara KingsolverPain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.104
Bayard RustinWar is wrong. Conscription for war is inconsistent with freedom of conscience, which is not merely the right to believe but to act on the degree of truth that one receives, to follow a vocation which is God-inspired and God-directed.104
Benjamin E. MaysHonest communication is built on truth and integrity and upon respect of the one for the other.104
Benjamin HarrisonThe bud of victory is always in the truth.104
Bikram ChoudhuryTruth is the most bitter to accept, swallow and digest it. The moment you speak truth, you lose your popularity. But I don't care.104
Diane AckermanThe simple, stupefying truth that, as a woman, I am a minute ocean, in the dark tropic of whose womb eggs lay coded as roe, floating in the sea that wet-nursed us all, moved me deeply.104
Donald RumsfeldThe price of being close to the President is delivering bad news. You fail him if you don't tell him the truth. Others won't do it.104
Doris LessingI don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer.104
Edward YoungRead nature; nature is a friend to truth.104
Feisal Abdul RaufOne of the misperceptions that exists in the Muslim world, which needs to be fixed, is the perception that Muslims in America are - are - are living in - in very, very, very bad circumstances. They cannot practice religion freely. It is not the truth at all. The fact is, we are practicing. We fast, we pray, we do our prayers.104
Friedrich DurrenmattTruth is always a delusion.104
Gerald R. FordTell the truth, work hard, and come to dinner on time.104
Graham GreeneA petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction.104
Greg GraffinI don't bill myself as an atheist but as a naturalist. Naturalism is a belief system. A lot of scientists bristle at that. We all have to believe we can find the truth. Evidence is my guide. I rely on observation, experimentation and verification.104
H. Rap BrownI seek truth over a lie; I seek justice over injustice; I seek righteousness over the rewards of evildoers, and I love Allah more than I love the state.104
HypatiaIn fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.104
John CalvinA dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.104
Kevin RuddThe Apology opened the opportunity for a new relationship based on mutual respect and mutual responsibility between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia. Because without mutual respect and mutual responsibility, the truth is we can achieve very little.104
Lawrence DurrellPerhaps our only sickness is to desire a truth which we cannot bear rather than to rest content with the fictions we manufacture out of each other.104
Linus PaulingScience is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality.104
Max PlanckA scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.104
Mos DefI don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift.104
Nawal El SaadawiTo me, 'beauty' means to be natural, creative, honest - to say the truth.104
Neale Donald WalschThe world is starving for a new spiritual truth - a truth that works in sustaining life, not a truth that brings an end to life.104
Pietro AretinoI love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.104
RamakrishnaOne must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.104
Saint PatrickNo one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God.104
Shakuntala DeviEducation is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.104
Thomas HuxleyLearn what is true in order to do what is right. 104
Umberto EcoI have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.104
William HagueLet's not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can't have high standards without good discipline.104
William Lloyd GarrisonI will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.104
William PennTruth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than the arguments of its opposers.104
YanniActually, with 'Truth of Touch' I wasn't even intending on making an album. I was just having fun. I had about a six-month period of down time, and I'm not very good at sitting around. So I kind of started going into the studio and having fun with new core mendin sounds.104
Abbas KiarostamiI film normal-life subjects in natural settings that some people would consider uncinematic. But what I want to show is nature itself, as the truth of life.104
Abby WambachThe truth is, I've been on a team my whole life. I'm the youngest of 7, so I've been training to be an athlete my whole life.104
Alexis CarrelA few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.104
Ann RichardsWe're not going to have the America that we want until we elect leaders who are going to tell the truth - not most days, but every day.104
Blake MycoskiePeople often ask me what I consider my goal to be at TOMS. The truth is that it's changed over the years. When we first began, the goal was to create a for-profit company to help the children that I met in a small village in Argentina.104
Carlos Ruiz ZafonMention the gothic, and many readers will probably picture gloomy castles and an assortment of sinister Victoriana. However, the truth is that the gothic genre has continued to flourish and evolve since the days of Bram Stoker, producing some of its most interesting and accomplished examples in the 20th century - in literature, film and beyond.104
Edmond de GoncourtThe reason for the sadness of this modern age and the men who live in it is that it looks for the truth in everything and finds it.104
Eugene KennedyThe truth of faith is a slender, glowing element that runs through even the seemingly ordinary and undramatic moments of existence. Even at low intensity, it is a steady source of illumination. Such religious truth is powerful even when it seems faint, even when it seems obscured by the larger events of history.104
Evan WilliamsMy strong belief - in being in blogging before Twitter - is that in trying to create more information out there, in trying to create the democratization of media in general, is that the more voices there are out there then the likelihood is that the truth bubbles up to the top.104
Henry PetroskiAll conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations.104
Jeffrey KlugerIt's a deep and all but certain truth about narcissistic personalities that to meet them is to love them, but to know them well is to find them unbearable. Confidence quickly curdles into arrogance; smarts turn to smugness, charm turns to smarm.104
Kenneth R. MillerWe don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.104
Natalie GoldbergNever underestimate people. They do desire the cut of truth.104
Richard LinklaterThe truth will only be told over a career.104
Dorothy ThompsonThere is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.104
Krzysztof KieslowskiTo tell you the truth, in my work, love is always in opposition to the elements. It creates dilemmas. It brings in suffering. We can't live with it, and we can't live without it. You'll rarely find a happy ending in my work.104
Alison KraussThe smile on your face lets me know that you need me, there's a truth in your heart that says you'll never leave me, and the touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall.104
Shana AlexanderThe sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.104
A. Philip RandolphIn every truth, the beneficiaries of a system cannot be expected to destroy it.104
Arthur RubinsteinLife is the game that must be played, this truth at least, good friends, we know; so live and laugh, nor be dismayed as one by one the phantoms go.104
Martin Luther King, Jr.I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.105
Muhammad AliI know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.105
Lord ByronAdversity is the first path to truth.105
Phil McGrawWe all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we're capable of.105
Virginia WoolfIf you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.105
Brene BrownThe truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect.105
ChanakyaThere is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.105
William OslerNo human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.105
Adlai E. StevensonIf the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.105
Amy WinehouseThere's no point in saying anything but the truth.105
Edith SteinMy longing for truth was a single prayer.105
Edward AlbeeGood writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.105
Helen ThomasEveryone with a cell phone thinks they're a photographer. Everyone with a laptop thinks they're a journalist. But they have no training, and they have no idea of what we keep to in terms of standards, as in what's far out and what's reality. And they have no dedication to truth.105
Henri MatisseExactitude is not truth.105
Herman MelvilleFriendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.105
Igor StravinskyI am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity.105
Lily TomlinIf truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?105
Lucian FreudThere is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so.105
LZ GrandersonThe ugly truth is it's the spineless parents who parade their undisciplined children around like royalty that make people dislike kids.105
Malcolm MuggeridgeOne of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we've developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.105
Marquis de SadeTruth titillates the imagination far less than fiction.105
Newt GingrichThe secular elites are so terrified of telling the truth about radical Islam. When you talk about the radical Islamists, we have got to get straight and get serious and talk about it in the right way.105
PhaedrusWhoever is detected in a shameful fraud is ever after not believed even if they speak the truth.105
Russell BrandPeople don't throw your bags out of windows because of lies; they throw them out because of the truth.105
Russell PetersI think a lot of people mistake my confidence on stage for cockiness in real life, and that's actually farthest from the truth. When I'm on stage, I'm that confident and that cocky because I have a microphone in my hand, and there's a few thousand people staring at me. And I know they're there to laugh.105
Saint BasilLiberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth.105
Shunryu SuzukiWithout accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. Unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.105
Sojourner TruthTruth is powerful and it prevails.105
Sue Monk KiddI learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It's a strange truth, but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It's not something that happens overnight. It's an evolution of the heart.105
Theodore ParkerTruth never yet fell dead in the streets; it has such affinity with the soul of man, the seed however broadcast will catch somewhere and produce its hundredfold.105
Abbas KiarostamiThe calling of art is to extract us from our daily reality, to bring us to a hidden truth that's difficult to access - to a level that's not material but spiritual.105
Andre MalrauxThen I despair... I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it always.105
Auguste RodinTo any artist, worthy of the name, all in nature is beautiful, because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth.105
Bela LugosiI guess I'm pretty much of a lone wolf. I don't say I don't like people at all, but, to tell you the truth, I only like it then if I have a chance to look deep into their hearts and their minds.105
Chris ChristieMom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children, her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth, bluntly, directly, and without much varnish. I am her son.105
Craig BruceNever question the relevance of truth, but always question the truth of relevance.105
Dalton TrumboNow the truth of the matter is that there are a lot of things people don't understand. Take the Einstein theory. Take taxes. Take love. Do you understand them? Neither do I. But they exist. They happen.105
Gabriel ByrneI think that if you can convey a kind of a complexity, a mystery, a truth in stillness, that, to me, is really worth striving for, and I totally agree with Michael Fassbender in that less is more. If it's going on inside you, the camera will find it.105
Kris KristoffersonTell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.105
Martin JacquesIf the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising. For the best part of two centuries, we British ruled the waves, controlled two-fifths of the planet, and believed it was our responsibility to bring civilisation to those who allegedly lacked it.105
Robert CapaThe truth is the best picture, the best propaganda.105
Roland BarthesWhat I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth.105
Sloane CrosleyIt's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons; I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other, more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.105
AntisthenesThere are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself - an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.105
Rem KoolhaasWe say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living.105
Arnold BennettThere can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.105
BuddhaThree things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. 106
Ellen DeGeneresI am saddened by how people treat one another and how we are so shut off from one another and how we judge one another, when the truth is, we are all one connected thing. We are all from the same exact molecules.106
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelTruth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.106
George OrwellThe very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.106
Gottfried LeibnizThere are also two kinds of truths: truth of reasoning and truths of fact. Truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible; those of fact are contingent and their opposite is possible.106
Swami VivekanandaTruth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true. 106
Angelina JolieThe truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.106
Elizabeth Cady StantonThe moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.106
Alanis MorissetteA good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.106
Arthur Conan DoyleWhen you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.106
Barbara KingsolverMemory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth, but not its twin.106
Christina RossettiShe gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth.106
Denis DiderotWe swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.106
George McGovernThe truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.106
Giordano BrunoIt is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.106
Guy FinleyEvery truth ever discovered, each new spiritual light that will ever burn bright has already been seeded in our consciousness.106
Hayley WilliamsThe truth is, no matter what your lifestyle or occupation, nothing can really stop you when you're allowing yourself to be exactly who you want to be.106
Henry Louis GatesThe sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering, some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality, birth within marriage, parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?106
L. Ron HubbardA science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.106
Lana TurnerThe truth is, sex doesn't mean that much to me now.106
Louisa May AlcottLet my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.106
Penn JilletteThe secret truth of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is that it isn't very hard... 'Celebrity Apprentice' is easy like junior high is easy. All the arithmetic, the creative writing and the history are super simple, but like junior high, you do that easy work surrounded by people who are full-tilt, hormone-raging bug nutty.106
Randy PauschYou can't get there alone. People have to help you, and I do believe in karma. I believe in paybacks. You get people to help you by telling the truth, by being earnest.106
ShakiraI pefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.106
Stephen ColbertI deliver my Truth hot and hard.106
Steven PinkerWhen people talk, they lay lines on each other, do a lot of role playing, sidestep, shilly-shally and engage in all manner of vagueness and innuendo. We do this and expect others to do it, yet at the same time we profess to long for the plain truth, for people to say what they mean, simple as that. Such hypocrisy is a human universal.106
Ursula K. Le GuinWe are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.106
Willa CatherThe stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.106
Duane MichalsPhotography does deal with 'truth' or a kind of superficial reality better than any of the other arts, but it never questions the nature of reality - it simply reproduces reality. And what good is that when the things of real value in life are invisible?106
Elena KaganI've led a school whose faculty and students examine and discuss and debate every aspect of our law and legal system. And what I've learned most is that no one has a monopoly on truth or wisdom. I've learned that we make progress by listening to each other, across every apparent political or ideological divide.106
Hayley HasselhoffThe plus size movement is not just about fashion; it's about body image, and if we're doing a shoot, they won't retouch us at all. That's the cool thing: there's no retouching at all because we want to give girls the truth, not a fabrication.106
Hosea BallouDoubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way.106
Kim Il-sungThe oppressed peoples can liberate themselves only through struggle. This is a simple and clear truth confirmed by history.106
Klaus KinskiThe truth is, I can never die. For I will be in everything and see you in everything and watch over you. I am your reaction in the water of a mountain lake.106
Lillian HellmanTruth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels.106
Mary Baker EddyHappiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.106
Minna AntrimThat one woman is capable of loving another is an historical truth; but never yet lived one who could not listen to her own praises at the expense of her adored friend.106
Stan LaurelHumor is the truth; wit is an exaggeration of the truth.106
Ann BancroftFor me, exploration is about that journey to the interior, into your own heart. I'm always wondering, how will I act at my moment of truth? Will I rise up and do what's right, even if every fiber of my being is telling me otherwise?106
Jane Velez-MitchellI've studied pathological liars, and anything they say, they believe, and that's one of the reasons they're so convincing, because they have no connection with the truth. It's a dead issue. It's like they're color-blind to the truth. So anything that comes out of their mouths is their reality.106
Arthur SchopenhauerThe discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.107
Michel FoucaultMadness is the absolute break with the work of art; it forms the constitutive moment of abolition, which dissolves in time the truth of the work of art.107
Hannah ArendtThe sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.107
Johnny DeppThere's no truth anymore.107
Aneurin BevanThis is my truth, tell me yours.107
Dennis MillerLiberals should not overplay this weapons of mass destruction card, because you want me to tell you the truth? Most of us are not going to care if they don't find these weapons of mass destruction. It's enough for a lot of us to see those kids smiling on that street again.107
Dietrich BonhoefferGod's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.107
Eazy-EWhy do you think the fans like us - why they prefer our street raps over all that phony stuff out there? Because we're telling the real story of what it's like living in places like Compton. We're giving them reality. We're like reporters. We give them the truth.107
Franz LisztTruth is a great flirt.107
Franz SchubertYou believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves.107
Gerard WayI feel like my mission is to be honest with myself. My mission is to share my truth - share, not give. I think that's what an artist is supposed to do: I think they share.107
Giordano BrunoTime is the father of truth, its mother is our mind.107
Graham GreeneThe truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.107
Herman MelvilleTruth uncompromisingly told will always have its ragged edges.107
Jean de La FontaineAnyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people.107
Joseph Smith, Jr.The best way to obtain truth and wisdom is not to ask from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching.107
Katherine MansfieldRisk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.107
Kevin O'LearyI'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.107
Kinky FriedmanI never apologize for the truth. And the truth here is that racists come in many different colors.107
Kris CarrTrust is a core currency of any relationship. Sometimes our need to control and micromanage everything erodes our confidence in ourselves and others. The truth: People are much more capable than we think. A hearty dose of trust is often what's needed to unlock the magic. Go ahead, have faith.107
L. Lionel KendrickChristlike communications are expressions of affection and not anger, truth and not fabrication, compassion and not contention, respect and not ridicule, counsel and not criticism, correction and not condemnation. They are spoken with clarity and not with confusion. They may be tender or they may be tough, but they must always be tempered.107
Logan Pearsall SmithIf you want to be thought a liar, always tell the truth.107
MaimonidesYou must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.107
Nate SilverA lot of journalism wants to have what they call objectivity without them having a commitment to pursuing the truth, but that doesn't work. Objectivity requires belief in and a commitment toward pursuing the truth - having an object outside of our personal point of view.107
Padma LakshmiIn truth, I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too. And so Krishna is parented by me, but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.107
Seamus HeaneyBut that citizen's perception was also at one with the truth in recognizing that the very brutality of the means by which the IRA were pursuing change was destructive of the trust upon which new possibilities would have to be based.107
Shunryu SuzukiWithout accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.107
Suze OrmanIt wasn't until I stood in my truth and told everybody that I had $250,000 in credit card debt. At that point, everything turned around for me. I had to reveal the truth about what I didn't have, more than pretend about what I did. That was interesting.107
Two ChainzI don't care what anybody else is wearing. I feel like they're all waiting to see what I have on. If you really want to know the truth, that's what I think. They're waiting to see what I'mma do next.107
Walter BenjaminThe art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out.107
Alan CohenYou will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.107
Brittany MurphyI take work very seriously and telling the truth in my job and professionalism.107
Debi MazarI have lots of shoes, but I have to be comfortable. Lately, I've stolen my husband's big, ugly Uggs to wear around the kitchen. I want to have them on, then slide into a fabulous heel later. Truth is, I often forget the heel.107
Geri HalliwellThe truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing.107
Josh McDowellWe've had a major shift in what truth is and where it comes from. We've gone from being God-centered to self-centered, from being objective to being subjective, and from being internal to external.107
Anna HeldNo one ever tells us the truth, even those we love.107
Jeanette WintersonThe truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down.107
John OrtbergThere are dozens of references to God in the Scriptures for every one to the figure of Satan. This reflects a sometimes forgotten theological truth that the devil is by no means God's counterpart. He is a creature, not the Creator.107
Jessica ValentiThe truth is that we don't need everyone to like us; we need a few people to love us. Because what's better than being roundly liked is being fully known - an impossibility both professionally and personally if you're so busy being likable that you forget to be yourself.107
J. M. CoetzeeThe end of confession is to tell the truth to and for oneself.107
David BowieThe truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.108
Isaac NewtonI do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.108
Jim MorrisonSex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But, it's usually too battered with rules to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies.108
Malcolm XI'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against. 108
Norman SchwarzkopfThe truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.108
Alfred Lord TennysonA lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.108
Hannah ArendtThe trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide.108
Stephen KingFiction is the truth inside the lie.108
Horatio NelsonBuonaparte has often made his boast that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea and that his was kept in order and increasing by staying in port; but know he finds, I fancy, if Emperors hear the truth, that his fleet suffers more in a night than ours in one year.108
Lewis MumfordA day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.108
PetrarchLove is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.108
Peyton ManningI guess, to tell you the truth, I've never had much of a desire to grow facial hair. I think I've managed to play quarterback just fine without a mustache.108
Roy H. WilliamsQuantum Mechanics and General Relativity are both accepted as scientific fact even though they're mutually exclusive. Albert Einstein spent the second half of his life searching for a unifying truth that would reconcile the two.108
Sylvester StalloneI believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.108
Will SelfIn truth, even if they have an imperfect insight into their own methods, I still slightly mistrust writers of fiction who are assured literary critics; it makes me suspect that they favour the word over the world it should describe. Such scribes fall victim too easily to the solecism of equating style with morality.108
Mother JonesI am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please.108
Aldous HuxleyYou shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.109
Edward SnowdenAll I can say right now is the U.S. government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me. Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.109
Isaac NewtonI do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.109
Rene DescartesIf you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.109
Abraham MaslowDispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.109
Benito MussoliniThe truth is that men are tired of liberty.109
Marilyn MansonMarilyn Monroe wasn't even her real name, Charles Manson isn't his real name, and now, I'm taking that to be my real name. But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.109
Orson WellesI have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.109
Swami SivanandaDo not love leisure. Waste not a minute. Be bold. Realize the Truth, here and now!109
W. Clement StoneTruth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance. 109
Adlai E. StevensonI have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.109
Aleksandr SolzhenitsynIt is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.109
Anne SullivanThe immediate future is going to be tragic for all of us unless we find a way of making the vast educational resources of this country serve the true purpose of education, truth and justice.109
Arthur Conan DoyleAny truth is better than indefinite doubt. 109
Che GuevaraThe only passion that guides me is for the truth... I look at everything from this point of view.109
Chief JosephIt does not require many words to speak the truth.109
Dan RatherNow, I know you expected me to say that, well, I just kick back in the rocking chair, fished a little bit, listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And, tell you the truth, I have done that for maybe about five total minutes.109
E. O. WilsonThe essence of humanity's spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma, to resolve the contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?109
Henrik IbsenThe spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom - these are the pillars of society.109
Idina MenzelThe truth is I love musical theater and always have.109
Jack CanfieldTrust your gut feeling about things, listen to what others are saying, and look at the results of your actions. Once you know the truth, you can set about taking action to improve. Everyone will be better for it.109
James Russell LowellLight is the symbol of truth. 109
Louis FarrakhanThere really can be no peace without justice. There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, unless someone rises up to tell you the truth.109
Naomi CampbellI'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.109
Nikki SixxIn '85, I went through rehab and I wasn't ready. If you're not ready, you're not ready. You don't want to hear the truth, and you're gonna keep doing what you keep doing.109
Ralph EllisonThere must be possible a fiction which, leaving sociology and case histories to the scientists, can arrive at the truth about the human condition, here and now, with all the bright magic of the fairy tale.109
Samuel ButlerFor truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.109
Simone WeilHumanism was not wrong in thinking that truth, beauty, liberty, and equality are of infinite value, but in thinking that man can get them for himself without grace.109
Stephen ColbertIn order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant. One motto on the show is, 'Keep your facts, I'm going with the truth.'109
TertullianThe first reaction to truth is hatred.109
Walter LippmannWhen distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.109
Walter ScottA rusty nail placed near a faithful compass, will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.109
Whitney HoustonMy mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.109
Emile ZolaIf you shut up truth, and bury it underground, it will but grow.109
Gary HamelRemarkable contributions are typically spawned by a passionate commitment to transcendent values such as beauty, truth, wisdom, justice, charity, fidelity, joy, courage and honor.109
James D. WatsonIf you accept that people are the products of evolution, then you have to have an open mind to the truth. Unfair discrimination exists whether we like it or not; I wouldn't have married a gum-chewing vegetarian.109
Jerome K. JeromeIt is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.109
Jacques LacanYet, analytical truth is not as mysterious, or as secret, so as to not allow us to see that people with a talent for directing consciences see truth rise spontaneously.109
Ayn RandThe truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.110
Pope FrancisAn example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock; it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.110
James MadisonThe truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.110
Jane AustenIt is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.110
Jane GoodallWords can be said in bitterness and anger, and often there seems to be an element of truth in the nastiness. And words don't go away, they just echo around.110
Marie CurieThere are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.110
Adlai E. StevensonYour days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came.110
Alfred AdlerEvery therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.110
Andy RooneyPeople will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe.110
Denis DiderotPithy sentences are like sharp nails which force truth upon our memory.110

Joan of ArcChildren say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.110
Lech WalesaThe sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience.110
Margaret FullerOnly the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.110
Max WeberCertainly all historical experience confirms the truth - that man would not have attained the possible unless time and again he had reached out for the impossible.110
Niels BohrThere are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.110
Robert H. SchullerThe truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.110
Tom WaitsMost people don't care if you're telling them the truth or if you're telling them a lie, as long as they're entertained by it.110
Tommy ChongComedy is the ultimate truth. Jazz is hitting the notes that that no one else would hit, and comedy is saying words that no one else would say.110
Tracy MorganI'm human, I feel, I understand. That's the highest level of love, is understanding - when you can understand someone, when you can love them with their flaws and their faults. So I understand, I consider. I may speak the truth, but I'll consider your feelings, too.110
Vivien LeighSometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.110
Walter LippmannThe study of error is not only in the highest degree prophylactic, but it serves as a stimulating introduction to the study of truth.110
Matthew ArnoldTruth sits upon the lips of dying men.110
Jean GiraudouxThere is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth.110
Blaise PascalContradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.111
Carl JungKnowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. 111
Elie WieselMost people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.111
Swami VivekanandaOur duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.111
Nicolaus CopernicusI am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavour to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God.111
Jiddu KrishnamurtiTruth cannot be brought down; rather, the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountaintop to the valley. If you would attain to the mountaintop, you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices.111
Clarence DarrowThe pursuit of truth will set you free; even if you never catch up with it.111
Flannery O'ConnorI preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there's no truth.111
George HarrisonWe were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass away.111
Henry B. EyringOur human tendency is to be impatient with the person who cannot see the truth that is so plain to us. We must be careful that our impatience is not interpreted as condemnation or rejection.111
HerodotusI am bound to tell what I am told, but not in every case to believe it.111
Kevin SpaceyIt's a great thriller or mystery, but on another level it's a film about the fact that, if you only look at a person through one lens, or only believe what you're told, you can often miss the truth that is staring you in the face.111
Pope Benedict XVIHow much we need, in the church and in society, witnesses of the beauty of holiness, witnesses of the splendour of truth, witnesses of the joy and freedom born of a living relationship with Christ!111
Thomas MannA harmful truth is better than a useful lie.111
Ursula K. Le GuinI talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.111
Venus WilliamsI guess rumors are more exciting than the truth.111
Wendell BerryWe cannot know the whole truth, which belongs to God alone, but our task nevertheless is to seek to know what is true. And if we offend gravely enough against what we know to be true, as by failing badly enough to deal affectionately and responsibly with our land and our neighbors, truth will retaliate with ugliness, poverty, and disease.111
Grover ClevelandI would rather the man who presents something for my consideration subject me to a zephyr of truth and a gentle breeze of responsibility rather than blow me down with a curtain of hot wind.111
Joseph PrinceIt is the truth of grace and not of the law that brings you true freedom. The truth of the law only binds you. In fact, religious bondage is one of the most crippling bondages with which a person can be encumbered. Religious bondage keeps one in constant fear, guilt, and anxiety.111
Friedrich NietzscheAll things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.112
Benjamin DisraeliNever apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. 112
H. P. LovecraftIf religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.112
Rabindranath TagoreLove is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.112
Vaclav HavelThere are times when we must sink to the bottom of our misery to understand truth, just as we must descend to the bottom of a well to see the stars in broad daylight.112
Tom StoppardAll your life, you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it is like being ambushed by a grotesque.112
Billy CorganSomewhere between the intellectual idea of why we're attracted to certain things and the pragmatic reality is some form of ever-evolving truth.112
Dietrich BonhoefferHuman love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.112
Edward G. Bulwer-LyttonTruth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light; every eye, looking on, finds its own.112
Gordon B. HinckleyI do not fear truth. I welcome it. But I wish all of my facts to be in their proper context.112
Horace MannScientific truth is marvelous, but moral truth is divine and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the lost paradise.112
Mary J. BligeYou can hate me. You can go out there and say anything you want about me, But you will love me later because I told you the truth.112
Muhammad IqbalThe truth is that the religious and the scientific processes, though involving different methods, are identical in their final aim. Both aim at reaching the most real.112
Nick VujicicOften times we feel like either we can't make a world of difference, or we feel that it's not going to change anything anyway. The truth is you can change someone's day, you can change someone's life, but you have to show up and do what you got to do to actually see any fruit coming from it.112
Oriana FallaciWe must take positions. Our weakness in the West is born of the fact of so-called 'objectivity.' Objectivity does not exist - it cannot exist!... The word is a hypocrisy which is sustained by the lie that the truth stays in the middle. No, sir: Sometimes truth stays on one side only.112
PinkMy dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you'll never have enemies, because people will always know where you're coming from.'112
River PhoenixI try to lie as much as I can when I'm interviewed. It's reverse psychology. I figure if you lie, they'll print the truth.112
Stephen LeacockA half truth, like half a brick, is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better.112
Monica JohnsonAs you submit to God more and more, you will get accustomed to being nourished by the power of truth. He is so holy that He cannot lie. God reveals His truth to His people through the Holy Spirit.112
Bob DylanAll the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.113
Jesus ChristI tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.113
Warren BuffettWe've used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we're running a federal deficit that's 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It's more stimulative than any policy we've followed since World War II.113
Jane GoodallI don't think that faith, whatever you're being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don't want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There's so much mystery. There's so much awe.113
Alejandro Gonzalez InarrituI'm less interested in reality. I'm more interested in perception, the truth of the universe that we see.113
Anne HathawayI kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be Catwoman.113
Desiderius ErasmusMan's mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth.113
Don Miguel RuizPeople like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies.113
Flannery O'ConnorThe truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.113
George ClooneyThe simple truth is that everyone has an opinion, everyone has the right to voice it, and they should if they want to.113
Haile SelassieThe preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man's basic freedoms and rights require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act - and if necessary, to suffer and die - for truth and justice; eternal vigilance, that the least transgression of international morality shall not go undetected and unremedied.113
Helen HayesThe truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.113
Joseph JoubertThose who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love the truth.113
Louisa May AlcottDo the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know.113
Octavio PazThe truth is that the history of Mexico is a history in the image of its geography: abrupt and tortuous. Each historical period is like a plateau surrounded by tall mountains and separated from the other plateaus by precipices and divides.113
Paramahansa YoganandaThe Western day is indeed nearing when the inner science of self-control will be found as necessary as the outer conquest of nature. This new Atomic Age will see men's minds sobered and broadened by the now scientifically indisputable truth that matter is in reality a concentrate of energy.113
Peter UstinovThe truth is really an ambition which is beyond us.113
Reinhold NiebuhrI think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.113
Saint BasilTo lovers of the truth, nothing can be put before God and hope in Him.113
Shel SilversteinTell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.113
Steven BikoIt becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.113
Thomas HuxleyFreedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth.113
Wole SoyinkaPower is domination, control, and therefore a very selective form of truth which is a lie.113
Andre MauroisThere are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.113
John O'DonohueGood friends won't let you off the hook when you shouldn't be let off the hook. You can let fall the masks we seem to need to survive in a cutthroat world. There is a value of truth that we typically don't find in other parts of life.113
Justin TimberlakeGossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.113
Martin ReesThe bedrock nature of space and time and the unification of cosmos and quantum are surely among science's great 'open frontiers.' These are parts of the intellectual map where we're still groping for the truth - where, in the fashion of ancient cartographers, we must still inscribe 'here be dragons.'113
Arthur SchopenhauerAll truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.114
Bruce LeeAll fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.114
Coco ChanelHard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity. 114
William JamesTruth is what works.114
Ravi ZachariasPleasure without God, without the sacred boundaries, will actually leave you emptier than before. And this is biblical truth, this is experiential truth. The loneliest people in the world are amongst the wealthiest and most famous who found no boundaries within which to live. That is a fact I've seen again and again.114
Alan DershowitzThe law is agnostic about truth. It's very skeptical of ultimate truth. That's why freedom of speech permits lies to be told.114
Anne LamottYour problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.114
Bette DavisThere are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.114
George LucasWhatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality.114
Guru NanakThere is but One God. His name is Truth; He is the Creator. He fears none; he is without hate. He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death. He is self-illuminated. He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru. He was True in the beginning; He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True. He is also True now.114
Kate WinsletIt's very easy to be judgmental until you know someone's truth.114
Leonardo DiCaprioI don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.114
Niels BohrThe opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.114
Thom YorkeI think no artist can claim to have any access to the truth, or an authentic version of an event. But obviously they have slightly better means at their disposal because they have their art to energize whatever it is they're trying to write about. They have music.114
Elizabeth BowenNobody speaks the truth when there is something they must have.114
C. S. LewisIf you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.115
Marilyn MonroeThe truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.115
Blaise PascalBelief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.115
Frank SinatraI'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.115
Leo TolstoyThere is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth. 115
P. T. BarnumPoliteness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business. Large stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements, will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly. The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.115
John KeatsI am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.115
Lewis CarrollAlways speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.115
William Tecumseh ShermanI hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.115
Carl von ClausewitzTwo qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.115
Don Miguel RuizI can say, 'Well, I'm a male. I'm a male human. I'm a medical doctor. I'm an author...' If I go to a religious point of view, I will say, 'I am a soul. I am a spirit.' If I go into science, I will say, 'I am energy. I am light.' But the truth is I have no idea what I am.115
Joseph ConradA caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.115
Michael MooreListen friends, you have to face the truth: You are never going to be rich... The system is rigged in favor of the few, and your name is not among them, not now and not ever.115
Miguel de CervantesTruth will rise above falsehood as oil above water.115
Niels BohrTechnology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue. Anthropological Commentary The opposite of a trivial truth is false; the opposite of a great truth is also true.115
Penn JilletteIf you spend a lot of time lying to people, you think a lot about what the truth means.115
Susan SontagThe truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.115
Thom YorkeSomeone needs to tell the truth, but it shouldn't be my job.115
Wole SoyinkaBooks and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.115

Terry PratchettThe truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.116
Andre GideBelieve those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.116
Bear GryllsThe truth is, I need 10 lifetimes to scratch the surface of the things I'd love to do.116
Elbert HubbardLive truth instead of professing it.116
John WayneI was sure I'd set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth - that I hadn't set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if 'The Big Trail' had been a success and launched me as a star.116
Mike KrzyzewskiThe truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions.116
Muhammad IqbalWhen truth has no burning, then it is philosophy, when it gets burning from the heart, it becomes poetry.116
Patrick HenryFor my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.116
Rafael NadalMy motivation and aspiration is the same, being number one or being number five. So that's the truth. And my goal is the same - it's to always be happy playing, it's to enjoy the game and improve always.116
Tom HiddlestonOur job is to represent the truth of human nature, whether you're playing a tender love story that's set in a coffee shop or whether you're in 'The Avengers,' which is set in a Manhattan which is exploding.116
Umberto EcoBut now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.116
Leo RostenTruth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense.116
Conor McGregorTrash talk? Smack talk? This is an American term that makes me laugh. I simply speak the truth. I'm an Irish man.117
Jesus ChristI am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 117
Phil McGrawThe truth is, I think we are a self-less society, not a selfish society. Because we're so busy now.117
Joyce MeyerIndividuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.117
Michael JacksonEveryone who knows me will know the truth, which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.117
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.117
Alejandro JodorowskyIn Mexico, when we want to speak deep secrets, we drink pulgue together. It is a drink made from the cactus plant, and when you take the bottle from your mouth, it leaves a string behind, between the mouth and the bottle, like a spider's web. It shows that the truth sticks inside.117
Dag HammarskjoldThe Assembly has witnessed over the last weeks how historical truth is established; once an allegation has been repeated a few times, it is no longer an allegation, it is an established fact, even if no evidence has been brought out in order to support it.117
Hope SoloYou're not going to be liked by everybody when you speak the truth. I don't speak the truth to put people down; I don't speak the truth to show disrespect.117
James Russell LowellOnce to every person and nation come the moment to decide. In the conflict of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side.117
John MiltonTruth never comes into the world but like a bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her birth.117
Jose RizalThe government that governs from afar absolutely requires that the truth and the facts reach its knowledge by every possible channel, so that it may weigh and estimate them better, and this need increases when a country like the Philippines is concerned, where the inhabitants speak and complain in a language unknown to the authorities.117
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeHe who begins by loving Christianity more than Truth, will proceed by loving his sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.117
UnknownIn a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.117

Leonard CohenIn dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.118
Simone de BeauvoirDefending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself.118
Audre LordeI remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine, feeling I had the truth and the light and the key, but a lot of it was purely hell.118
Anatole FranceThe truth is that life is delicious, horrible, charming, frightful, sweet, bitter, and that is everything.118
Annie BesantQuick condemnation of all that is not ours, of views with which we disagree, of ideas that do not attract us, is the sign of a narrow mind, of an uncultivated intelligence. Bigotry is always ignorant, and the wise boy, who will become the wise man, tries to understand and to see the truth in ideas with which he does not agree.118
Jesse VenturaThere are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves.118
Friedrich NietzscheOn the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.119
Blaise PascalOne must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.119
Christopher HitchensEven if I accepted that Jesus - like almost every other prophet on record - was born of a virgin, I cannot think that this proves the divinity of his father or the truth of his teachings. The same would be true if I accepted that he had been resurrected.119
Malcolm XDespite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds. I have always kept an open mind, a flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of the intelligent search for truth.119
Queen Elizabeth IITo what greater inspiration and counsel can we turn than to the imperishable truth to be found in this treasure house, the Bible?119
Al PacinoThe truth is, you know, we need our anodynes. You know that word, anodynes? We need that in life some times. A good warm bath can be one for you, or a whatever.119
Mahatma GandhiEven if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth. 120

Andre GideThe color of truth is gray.120

George Henry LewesSincerity is moral truth.120
Gerard WayThe clearest actions come from truth, not obligation.120
Joseph B. WirthlinA testimony of the truth of the gospel does not come the same way to all people. Some receive it in a unique, life-changing experience. Others gain a testimony slowly, almost imperceptibly until, one day, they simply know.120
Paramahansa YoganandaSri Yukteswar showed no special consideration to those who happened to be powerful or accomplished; neither did he slight others for their poverty or illiteracy. He would listen respectfully to words of truth from a child, and openly ignore a conceited pundit.120
ShakiraThe truth is that I'm more afraid of marriage than of death.120
Jane FondaYou don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth.120
Joyce Carol OatesWhen I wrote 'We Were The Mulvaneys,' I was just old enough to look back upon my own family life and the lies of certain individuals close to me, with the detachment of time. I wanted to tell the truth about secrets: How much pain they give, yet how much relief, even happiness we may feel when at last the motive for secrecy has passed.120
C. S. LewisReason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. 121
Alan WattsBut the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.121
Isaac NewtonPlato is my friend; Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.121
John Stuart MillPopular opinions, on subjects not palpable to sense, are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth.121
Walt WhitmanWhatever satisfies the soul is truth. 121
Ansel AdamsMyths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.121
J. ColeBarack Obama would not be President if he were dark skin. You know what I mean? That's just the truth. I might not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.121
Richard P. FeynmanEach piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet.121
Charles StanleyWe are either in the process of resisting God's truth or in the process of being shaped and molded by his truth.121
Horace MannIf any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both.121
Morihei UeshibaAll the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.121
Robert Green IngersollThere are times when a falsehood well told bridges over quite a difficulty, but in the long run, you had better tell the truth, even if you swim the creek.121
William C. BryantTruth gets well if she is run over by a locomotive, while error dies of lockjaw if she scratches her finger.121
EminemA lot of truth is said in jest. 122
Simone de BeauvoirI tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.122
Abu BakrThe greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty.122
Joe RoganThe two things I understand best are stand-up comedy and martial arts. And those things require an ultimate grasp of the truth. You have to be objective about your skills and abilities to compete in both.122
Lawrence DurrellTruth disappears with the telling of it.122
John DrydenFor truth has such a face and such a mien, as to be loved needs only to be seen.122
Oscar WildeMan is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.123
H. P. LovecraftTo the scientist there is the joy in pursuing truth which nearly counteracts the depressing revelations of truth.123
Isaac NewtonTruth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.123
Jean-Paul SartreLike all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.123
D. H. LawrenceTragedy is like strong acid - it dissolves away all but the very gold of truth.123
Ashton KutcherWe're all living in a casino. It's just Vegas. Everything is on camera. Everything is being recorded. Everything is on audio. The truth is we all have access to everybody else's information.123
Bill MaherTo me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that.123
Herman MelvilleTruth is the silliest thing under the sun. Try to get a living by the Truth and go to the Soup Societies. Heavens! Let any clergyman try to preach the Truth from its very stronghold, the pulpit, and they would ride him out of his church on his own pulpit bannister.123
Michael J. FoxI find as long as I acknowledge the truth of something, then that's it. I know what it is and then I can operate. But if I overestimate the downside of something or the challenge of something and I get too obsessed about the difficulty of it, then I don't leave enough room to be open to the upside, the possibility.123
Robert Green IngersollA great man does not seek applause or place; he seeks for truth; he seeks the road to happiness, and what he ascertains, he gives to others.123
Abraham LincolnI am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.124
DrakeI'm actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, 'Man, I said too much.' It's hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.124
Hunter S. ThompsonIf I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.124
Nikola TeslaThe history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.124
James MadisonIt is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.124
Ben ShapiroWhen we say 'less fortunate,' we generally mean the poor rather than the disabled, who actually are less fortunate. In truth, the poor are generally 'less fortunate' only in terms of genetics. They are certainly not less fortunate in the amount of help they receive.124
Henri Frederic AmielTruth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.124
Isabel AllendeA memoir forces me to stop and remember carefully. It is an exercise in truth. In a memoir, I look at myself, my life, and the people I love the most in the mirror of the blank screen. In a memoir, feelings are more important than facts, and to write honestly, I have to confront my demons.124
BuddhaThere are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.125
Charles DarwinTo kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact.125
Charles DickensThere is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth.125
Charlie ChaplinI went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.125
Rabindranath TagoreTo be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.125
Jane AustenSeldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.125
Stephen KingOnly enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.125
Gary ZukavOnly choices made in love are compassionate. There are no exceptions. Do you have the courage to act with an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome? If not, you have no ability to give or experience compassion. That is the shocking truth.125
Frank Lloyd WrightThe truth is more important than the facts.126
Thomas MertonPeace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.126
Annie BesantSun-worship and pure forms of nature-worship were, in their day, noble religions, highly allegorical but full of profound truth and knowledge.126
Jawaharlal NehruLet us be a little humble; let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.126
Robert Green IngersollA fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.126
Robert KiyosakiI believe that one key to success is to accept truth, no matter how it's spoken.126
H. L. MenckenIt is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.201

Aldous HuxleyProverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.201
Jimi HendrixMusic makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.201
John LockeThe Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its author; salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure.201
Lord ByronOpinions are made to be changed - or how is truth to be got at?201
Malcolm XTruth is on the side of the oppressed.201
Pablo PicassoWe all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.201
Neil GaimanThe great thing about Batman and Superman, in truth, is that they are literally transcendent. They are better than most of the stories they are in.201
Josh BillingsThere are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.201
Kanye WestYou don't have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.202
Aldous HuxleyGreat is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.202
Blaise PascalHe that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.202
Jimmy CarterI don't want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He's a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach.202
Margaret AtwoodFiction is not necessarily about what you know, it's about how you feel. That is the truth about fiction, and the other truth is that all science is a tool, and we use our tools not to actualise what we know, but to implement how we feel.202
Brad PittI'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth.202
Albert EinsteinWhoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters. 203
BuddhaThe foolish man conceives the idea of 'self.' The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of 'self;' thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.203
Blaise PascalTruth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.203
Leonardo da VinciBeyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.203
RumiThat which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.203
Iyanla VanzantI have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be.203
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.203
Anne LamottMy parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way.203
Chuck PalahniukI wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.203
H. L. MenckenStrike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.204

Ellen G. WhiteAs we lay hold upon the truth of God, its influence must affect us. It must elevate us. It must remove from us every imperfection.204

Mahatma GandhiAn error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.205
Edgar Allan PoeExperience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.205
George SantayanaThe dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it.205
Virginia WoolfYet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.205
William BlakeWhen I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.205

Carl JungMistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.206
Charles DickensIt is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations.206
AesopEvery truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.206
Oprah WinfreyThe thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.206

John F. KennedyA nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.207
Ambrose BierceWho never doubted, never half believed. Where doubt is, there truth is - it is her shadow.207

Mahatma GandhiNon-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.208
Jean-Paul SartreI tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.208
ChanakyaThe earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth.208
Donald TrumpObama has no solutions. Obama has failed the country and its great citizens, and they don't like it when somebody such as myself speaks the truth about this - it hurts too much.209
Khalil GibranYesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.209
Coco ChanelWomen must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.209

Rabindranath TagoreFacts are many, but the truth is one. 210
William Butler YeatsYou know what the Englishman's idea of compromise is? He says, Some people say there is a God. Some people say there is no God. The truth probably lies somewhere between these two statements.210
Anais NinThere are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.211

R. Buckminster FullerTruth is a tendency.211
John F. KennedyThe goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth. 212
Anais NinTruth is something which can't be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.212
Bob DylanHere's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.212
Edgar Allan PoeIt is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.212

Rabindranath TagoreThe water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.213
Richard DawkinsReligion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.213

AristotleThe least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.214
BuddhaIn a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.214

Oscar WildeThe truth is rarely pure and never simple. 215
Charles SpurgeonAfter many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.215

Wayne DyerThe truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it's your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can't package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.221

Douglas AdamsI don't believe it. Prove it to me and I still won't believe it.224
Robin WilliamsThe essential truth is that sometimes you're worried that they'll find out it's a fluke, that you don't really have it. You've lost the muse or - the worst dread - you never had it at all. I went through all that madness early on.224

John F. KennedyThe great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.301

Marcus Tullius CiceroIn everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy.301
Deepak ChopraFor thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God.

Emily DickinsonTell the truth, but tell it slant.302
Albert EinsteinAnyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either. 303
Yogi BerraA lot of guys go, 'Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.' I tell 'em, 'I don't know any.' They want me to make one up. I don't make 'em up. I don't even know when I say it. They're the truth. And it is the truth. I don't know.303

Winston ChurchillMan will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.304
Friedrich NietzscheIn the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence and loathing seizes him.305

Ralph Waldo EmersonTruth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.311

Benjamin DisraeliJustice is truth in action.313

Pope FrancisTruth, according to the Christian faith, is God's love for us in Jesus Christ. Therefore, truth is a relationship.319
Barack ObamaI know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me - so am I.320
Martin Luther King, Jr.Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.320
Mark TwainTruth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.324

Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWisdom is found only in truth.405
Albert EinsteinWhoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.407
AristotleThe true and the approximately true are apprehended by the same faculty; it may also be noted that men have a sufficient natural instinct for what is true, and usually do arrive at the truth. Hence the man who makes a good guess at truth is likely to make a good guess at probabilities.407
Mark TwainIf you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. 407
VoltaireTo the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth. 407

Albert CamusA taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.417
Henry David ThoreauThe rarest quality in an epitaph is truth.418
Mark TwainWhy shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.418
