Nothin' but the truth...

~Nadine Gordimer

"The truth isn't always beauty,
but the hunger for it is."


Wisdom is found only in truth.

A thing is not necessarily true
because a man dies for it.

Truth only reveals itself
when one gives up all
preconceived ideas.
~Shoseki

“The truth is rarely pure
  and never simple.”
  ~ Oscar Wilde

"Nothing is easier
 than self-deceit.
 For what each man wishes,
 that he also
 believes to be true."~Demosthenes

Believe those who are seeking
the truth; doubt those who find it.
~Andre Gide

The ultimate test
of what a truth means
is the conduct it
dictates or inspires.
~ William James

 "Truth resides in every human heart,
and one has to search for it there,
and to be guided
by truth as one sees it.
But no one has a right
to coerce others to act according
to his own view of truth.  ~Edmund Burke


Ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you mad.
~Aldous Huxley



It's no wonder that truth
is stranger than fiction,
Fiction has to make sense.

~Mark Twain

~Malcolm X
I'm for truth,
no matter who tells it.

I'm for justice,
no matter who
it's for
or against.

Truth is mighty and will prevail.
There is nothing the matter with
this, except that it ain't so.
~Mark Twain


What people believe
prevails over the truth.
~SOPHOCLES

I believe that
unarmed truth and
unconditional love
will have the final
word in reality.

This is why right,
temporarily defeated,
is stronger than
evil triumphant.
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
