Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“It has been often said, very truely, that religion is the thing that makes the ordinary man feel extraordinary; it is an equally important truth that religion is the thing that makes the extraordinary man feel ordinary.”

Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
“The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.”

“The uncomfortable truth seems to be that the amount of talk by women has been measured less against the amount of men's talk than against the expectation of female silence.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“In truth, we don't know which of our acts in the present will shape the future. But we have to behave as if everything we do matters. Because it might.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Science is the response to the demand for information, and in it we ask for the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Art is the response to the demand for entertainment, for the stimulation of our senses and imagination, and truth enters into it only as it subserves these ends.”
Quote by -George Santayana
People assume actors are born liars, but I'd argue the actor's job is to tell the truth. And I've realised I'm not a good liar.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
A film is not a documentary. And what's wonderful about film is that it's a real provocation for people. I never, ever see film as being an absolute version of the truth.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
“The uncomfortable truth seems to be that the amount of talk by women has been measured less against the amount of men's talk than against the expectation of female silence.”

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
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.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
