We take our shape, it is true, within and against that cage of reality bequeathed us at our birth; and yet is precisely through our dependence on this reality that we are most endlessly betrayed.

Truth will rise above falsehood as oil above water.

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.

We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.

We never fully grasp the import of any true statement until we have a clear notion of what the opposite untrue statement would be.

It takes two to speak truth -- one to speak, and another to hear.

The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy.

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.

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Time tries truth.
