Gottfried Leibniz There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away. Henry Ward Beecher There are many great truths which we do not deny, and which nevertheless we do not fully believe. Joshua Willis Alexander There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home. John Stuart Mill There are more truths in twenty-four hours of a man's life than in all the philosophies. Raoul Vaneigem There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths. Friedrich Nietzsche There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays to the devil. Alfred North Whitehead There are some truths to some of the stories, but a lot of it isn't - you just have got to let it go. Charlotte Church There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true. Niels Bohr There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times. Voltaire There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them. Jean Cocteau There are two kinds of writers; the great ones who can give you truths, and the lessor ones, who can only give you themselves. Cliff Fadiman There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth. Friedrich Nietzsche There exists, if I am not mistaken, an entire world which is the totality of mathematical truths, to which we have access only with our mind, just as a world of physical reality exists, the one like the other independent of ourselves, both of divine creation. Charles Hermite Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten. Neil Gaiman 'Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do. Alexander Pope To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny. Joseph Addison To every object there correspond an ideally closed system of truths that are true of it and, on the other hand, an ideal system of possible cognitive processes by virtue of which the object and the truths about it would be given to any cognitive subject. Edmund Husserl 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. Nelson Goodman Truths and roses have thorns about them. Henry David Thoreau |
