If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
Rene Descartes

Not everyone can see the truth, but he can be it.
Franz Kafka

I never gave anybody hell! I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Harry S. Truman

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.
Harry S. Truman

My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.
Harry S. Truman

Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.
Alfred Adler

A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt dangerous.
Alfred Adler

Intense feeling too often obscures the truth.
Harry S. Truman

The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, with the truth.
Alfred Adler

There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself; anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.
Franz Kafka

You wanna get the truth out of me, get me hammered.
Ron White

I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton

Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.
Henri Frederic Amiel

An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd; it must be communicated by contagion.
Henri Frederic Amiel

What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.
Lady Gaga

Half a truth is better than no politics.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.
George Orwell
