Quotations
Truth
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true, there would be little hope of advancement.
-Orville Wright
When you stretch the truth, watch out for the snapback.
-Bill Copeland
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.
-Akhenation "Akhenation, 14 century Egyptian king"
Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.
-Elvis Presley
The truth is more important than the facts.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
-Oscar Wilde
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.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 176"
