Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than from the arguments of its opposers
William Penn
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing
John Locke
Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.
Dorothy Parker
Cease all interference in the religion, society, politics, and governance of the Muslims world. And leave us alone to establish the Islamic shura state, which will unite the Muslims of Earth in truth and justice.
Azzam the American
So, I think thatÃs the centerpiece of morality: DonÃt lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is. You know, itÃs easy to say, ìIÃll never tell a lie.î But if you say, ìIÃm going to speak the truth,î youÃre going to have to work damn hard to find out what the truth is. The next thing is just plain, old, simple kindness: to other people, to your family. Love for other people. I think thatÃs another very important part of morality, being genuinely compassionate and concerned about the feelings and well being of other people, especially those that depend on you directly.
George McGovern
Tell your friend a lie. If he keeps it secret, then tell him the truth.
Portuguese Proverb
It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life
Winston Churchill
It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
Virginia Woolf
Whatever the field under discussion, those who engage in debate must not only believe in each other's good faith, but also in their capacity to arrive at the truth.

Light is the symbol of truth.
James Russell Lowell
Ideas are, in truth, forces. Infinite, too,is the power of personality. A union of the two always makes history.
Henry James, Jr.
Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere
Blaise Pascal
In the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were truths and they were all beautiful.
Sherwood Anderson
The 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.
Albert Pike
