For truth has such a face and such a mien, As to be lov'd needs only to be seen.
- quote by John Dryden
For truth is precious and divine; Too rich a pearl for carnal swine.
- quote by Samuel Butler
For truth is unwelcome, however divine.
- quote by William Cowper
Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don't know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth.
- quote by Benjamin Peirce
Get but the truth once uttered, and 'tis like A star new-born that drops into its place And which, once circling in its placid round, Not all the tumult of the earth can shake.
- quote by James Russell Lowell
Give us that calm certainty of truth, that nearness to Thee, that conviction of the reality of the life to come, which we shall need to bear us through the troubles of this.
- quote by Henry Ward Beecher
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
- quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the man that has found wisdom, and the man that gets discernment, for having it as gain is better than having silver as gain and having it as produce than gold itself. It is more precious than corals, and all other delights of yours cannot be made equal to it. Length of days is in its right hand; in its left hand there are riches and glory. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its roadways are peace. It is a tree of life to those taking hold of it, and those keeping fast hold of it are to be called happy.
- quote by Solomon
- quote by Solomon
He who has once deviated from the truth, usually commits perjury with as little scruple as he would tell a lie.
