Truth

Truth is not determined by majority vote.

Doug Gwyn

The statement that only science can lead to truth is not itself deduced from science. It is not a scientific statement but rather a statement about science, that is, it is a metascientific statement. Therefore, if scientism's basic principle is true, the statement expressing scientism must be false. Scientism refutes itself hence it is incoherent.

John Lennox

We arrive at the truth, not by the reason only, but also by the heart.

Blaise Pascal

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Marcus Aurelius

It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The high minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think.

Aristotle

Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction; for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.

G.K. Chesterton

Time discovers truth.

Seneca

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Buddha

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry on as if nothing had happened.

Winston Churchill

There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself; anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.

Franz Kafka

The words of truth are always paradoxical.

Lao Tzu

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Charles Spurgeon

Wisdom is found only in truth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth.

Charles Dickens

You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.

G.K. Chesterton

People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature; people wonder why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple; it is merely that the novel is more true than they are.

G.K. Chesterton

As long as the people don't fear the truth, there is hope. For once they fear it, the one who tells it doesn't stand a chance. And today, truth is still beautiful... but so frightening.

Alice Walker

No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.

Eleanor Roosevelt
