Truth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light; every eye, looking on, finds its own.
Remember, as long as you live, that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world, with either your conscience or your honor unwounded.
In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
Truth is a good dog; but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
The finest and noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on which nothing is assumed.
There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, "Truth is the daughter of Time."
It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ?the world?; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous.
Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day, like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.
There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.
Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
