When you give up your own truth to win
at someone else's game, everyone loses.
Stephen C. Paul |

truth |
|
There
are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths.
It is
trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.
Alfred North Whitehead
|
| |
|
Never,
ever, regret
or apologize for
believing that
when one man or
one woman decides
to risk addressing
the world with truth,
the world may stop
what it is doing
and hear.
There is too much
evidence to the contrary.
Robert
Fulghum

Ask
yourself: If I know
something to be true, am I prepared to follow it,
even though it is contrary to what I want or to what I have previously
held to be true? Will I
follow it if it means being laughed at,
if it means personal financial loss, or some kind of hardship?
Eric
Liddell |

At the
core of everything I write is the feeling that the denial of the truth
imprisons us even further in ourselves. Of course, there's no
one "truth."
The great things, the insights that
happen to you,
come to you in some internal way.
Paula
Fox |

The
truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm
looking
for the truth" and so it goes away.
Puzzling.
Robert

Believe
those who are seeking the truth;
doubt those who find it.
Andre Gide |
|
The
truth will set you free.
But before it does,
it might make you
angry.
Jerry
Joiner |
|
Truth is completely spontaneous.
Lies have to be taught.
R. Buckminster Fuller |
If you want to write the
truth, you must write about yourself.
I am the only real truth I
know.
Jean Rhys |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Prudent is the one who can
keep silent that part of truth which
may be untimely, and by
not speaking it, does not spoil
the truth of what he or she
said.
Pope John
XXIII

If
anyone can show me, and convince me, that I have acted
or thought in error, I will gladly change; for I seek truth,
and no one was ever injured by the truth. But people injure
themselves if they live with self-deception and ignorance.
Marcus
Aurelius |
| |
|
Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being
true.
Richard
Bach |
| |
|
You
never find yourself until you face the truth.
Pearl
Bailey |
| |
|
|
| |
You
ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true.
You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would
not do.
If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have
injured
your folks; you have been false to them all.
Edgar A. Guest |
| |
|
We
never fully grasp the import of any true statement until
we have a clear notion of what the opposite untrue statement would
be.
William
James |
| |
|
All
truth is safe and nothing else is safe, but those
who keep back truth, or withhold it from others,
from motives of expediency,
are either cowards or criminals.
James
Russell Lowell |

Scientific truth is marvelous, but moral truth is
divine
and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the
lost paradise.
Horace Mann |

People
say they love truth, but in reality they want
to believe that which they love is true.
Robert
Ringer |
| |
Every
truth passes through three stages before
it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed, in the
second it is opposed, in the third it is regarded as self-evident.
Arthur
Schopenhauer |
| |
|
Truth
will always be truth, regardless of lack
of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.
W.
Clement Stone |
| |
|
The
TRUTH: It may not lead you to where you thought
you were going, but it will always lead you somewhere better.
When ignored, it will eventually show itself. The closeness
of your relationships is directly proportional to the degree to
which
you have revealed the truth about yourself. It can be painful.

Those
who know the truth are not equal
to those who love the truth.
Confucius |
| |
|
Those
who love truth more than life itself turn away from
the fleeting things of time with all their souls.
To use an expression of Plato--God himself
sets their faces in the right direction.
Simone
Weil |

Truth exists only for each individual when
he or she
produces it through his or her actions.
Søren Kierkegaard |

Not everyone can see the truth,
but everyone can be the truth.
Franz Kafka |
