Quotations by Subject: Truth (43 quotes)

Results from Classic Quotes:

No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.: Terry Pratchett, "Hogfather", footnote
Truth is eternal, knowledge is changeable. It is disastrous to confuse them.: Madeleine L'Engle (1918 - ), An Acceptable Time

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.: Bible, John 8:32

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court; our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure.: Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 - 1944), The Philosophy of Physical Science

I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together, not only our government but civilization itself.: Gerald R. Ford (1913 - 2006), Inaugural Address, 9 August 1974
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of imagination. What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth - whether it existed before or not.: John Keats (1795 - 1821)
The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.: William O. Douglas (1898 - 1980)
- More quotations on: [Ideas]
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
