True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault
The rarest quality in an epitaph is truth.
-Henry David Thoreau
There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.
-Jean Cocteau
There is no evil that cannot be done by the liar, who has transgressed the one law of truthfulness and who is indifferent to the world beyond.
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
-Mark Twain
When truth is divided, errors multiply.
-Eli Siegel
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
