Truth

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Jesus

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart. Blaise Pascal

New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths. George Bernard Shaw

Children say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth. Joan of Arc

The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it. Pearl S. Buck

The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible. Albert Einstein

The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love. William Sloane Coffin

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. William Shakespeare

Truth is, truth does, truth always will. (me)

There isn't really anything to say about truth. It really takes care of itself. It can't be coerced, prompted, forced or cajoled. Truth stands alone. When we find it, we know it, and it does set us free.
