True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
-Søren Kierkegaard
The truth is an offense, but not a sin.
-Bob Marley
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
-Henry David Thoreau
There is no evil that cannot be done by the liar, who has transgressed the one law of truthfulness and who is indifferent to the world beyond.
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
-Walt Whitman
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
-William Blake
"Auguries of Innocence"
When truth is divided, errors multiply.
-Eli Siegel
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
Facts are many, but the truth is one.
-Rabindranath Tagore
