When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.
-Arthur Conan Doyle
Quotations
Truth
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true, there would be little hope of advancement.
-Orville Wright
Love truth, but pardon error.
-Voltaire
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.
-Akhenation "Akhenation, 14 century Egyptian king"
The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
But better to be hurt by the truth than be comforted with a lie.
-Khaled Hosseini
To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.
-Leo Tolstoy
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
-Maya Angelou
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault
