- If you tell the truth, you have infinite power supporting you; but if not, you have infinite power against you.
- Charles Gordon
- Let us talk sense to the American people. Let us tell them the truth, that there are no gains without pains.
- Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. (1900 - 1965)
- The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.
- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
- The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.
- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
- In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.
- Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
- Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to Truth as a lamp; hold fast to the truth as a refuge. Look not for a refuge in anyone beside yourselves. And those, who shall be a lamp unto themselves, shall betake themselves to no external refuge, but holding fast to the Truth as their lamp, and holding fast to the Truth as their refuge, they shall reach the topmost height.
- Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC)
- By doubting we come at truth.
- Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
- The first casualty when war comes is truth.
- Hiram Johnson
- Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coat-tails.
- Clarence Darrow (1857 - 1938)
- It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.
- Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
