“Our job is to integrate these various truths into
the whole truth,
which should be our only loyalty.”
-- Abraham Maslow
“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me
truth.”
“I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for
justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and
foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a
whole.”
“If 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.”
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.
Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
“There's a world of difference between truth and
facts. Facts can obscure truth.”
“Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.”
“Love truth, but pardon error.”
― Voltaire
“Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun
and the Truth.”
“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe
what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
“Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the
universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us,
or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal
truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?”
“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I
am not bound to
succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I
have.”
“If someone is able to show me that what I think or do
is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was
ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and
ignorance who is harmed.”
“There is no greatness where there is not simplicity,
goodness, and truth.”
“The high-minded man must care more for the truth than
for what people think.”
“If 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.”
“When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a
hidden truth.”
“All should be laid open to you without reserve, for
there is not a truth existing which I fear, or would wish unknown to the whole
world.”
“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so
established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”
“Those who have failed to work toward the truth have
missed the purpose of living.”
“Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small
matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.”
“To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part
of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other
virtues.”
“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”
“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the
lifelong attempt to acquire it.”
