“The Truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind.” 

“Truth is so rare, it is delightful to tell it.” 

“I fear to lose truth by the pretension to possess it already wholly.” 

“Genius, in truth, means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way.” 

“Our view of the world is truly shaped by what we decide to hear.” 

“Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization.” 

“The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.” 

“Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.” 

Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. 

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

“Tell the truth. That way you don’t have to remember a story.”

“Well, the way of paradoxes is the way of truth. To test reality we must see it on the tight rope. When the verities become acrobats, we can judge them.” 

“It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. ” 

Explore, and explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatise yourself, nor accept another’s dogmatism. Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, for the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board.

“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” 

What is true anywhere is true everywhere.

Love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free. A Brave and Startling Truth.

The truth is you never can leave home. You take it with you everywhere you go. It's under your skin. It moves the tongue or slows it, colors the thinking, impedes upon the logic.

There is a world of difference between facts and the truth. You can have so many facts that you don't deal with the truth. You never get to the truth. You have the places where, the people who, the times when, the reasons why, the methods how - blah blah. And never get to the human truth. The human truth is as elusive as the air. And as important as the air.

Love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free. A Brave and Startling Truth.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.

God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.

Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all.
