--There is no right faith in believing what is true, unless we
believe it because it is true.--WHATELY.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshipers.
--BRYANT.
Truth is simple, requiring neither study nor art.--AMMIAN.
And all the people then shouted, and said, Great is truth, and mighty
above all things.--ESDRAS.
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to
have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting
myself in now and then finding a smooth pebble, or a prettier shell
than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered
before me.--NEWTON.
For truth has such a face and such a mien,
As to be lov'd needs only to be seen.
--DRYDEN.
Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be
no other virtue.--WALTER SCOTT.
Truth is violated by falsehood, and it may be equally outraged by
silence.--AMMIAN.
Truth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to help it
out. It is always near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready
to drop out before we are aware; whereas a lie is troublesome, and
sets a man's invention upon the rack; and one trick needs a great many
more to make it good.--TILLOTSON.
You need not tell all the truth, unless to those who have a right to
know it; but let all you tell be truth.
