Every one wishes to have truth on his side, but it is not everyone sincerely wishes to be on the side of truth.

I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world.

According to Democritus, truth lies at the bottom of a well, the water of which serves as a mirror in which objects may be reflected. I have heard, however, that some philosophers, in seeking for truth, to pay homage to her, have seen their own image and adored it instead.

The only atheism is the denial of truth.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at the touch, nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.

Funny how people despise platitudes, when they are usually the truest thing going. A thing has to be pretty true before it gets to be a platitude.

The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.

As time goes on, new and remoter aspects of truth are discovered which can seldom be fitted into creeds that are changeless.

We must not let go manifest truths because we cannot answer all questions about them.
