Truth

My desire for truth is greater than my desire to be right.
-N Wheeler

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
-M Twain

Here's me... here's the truth (gestures around herself). I am all about the truth.
-R Adamson

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.
-Mahatma Gandhi

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
-M Twain

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
-M Twain

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
-W Churchill

In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
-G Orwell

Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.
-G Martin

A truth that's told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can invent.
-W Blake

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
-F Dostoyevsky
