The
greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.
--
William James

We hold these truths to
be self-evident,--that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. -- Thomas
Jefferson Ignorance
is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing
than he who believes what is wrong. -- Thomas
Jefferson |
Honesty
is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
-- Thomas
Jefferson
In
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (December 1948) in most solemn form,
the dignity of a person is acknowledged to all human beings; and as a consequence
there is proclaimed, as a fundamental right, the right of free movement in search
for truth and in the attainment of moral good and of justice, and also the right
to a dignified life.
-- Pope John XXIII, 1881-1963 Pacem in Terris,
1963
The first
casualty, when war comes, is truth.
-- Hiram Johnson
It does not require
many words to speak the truth. -- Chief
Joseph (1732-1794) I
believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more. I
will tell you in my way how the Indian sees things. The white man has more words
to tell you how they look to him, but it does not require many words to speak
the truth. -- Chief
Joseph (1732-1794) | |

The great enemy
of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest
-- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic -- John
F. Kennedy |
The greatest truth
must be recognition that in every man, in every child is the potential for greatness.
-- Robert F. Kennedy | |
Some minds
remain open long enough for the truth not only to enter but to pass on through
by way of a ready exit without pausing anywhere along the route.
-- Elizabeth
Kenny
Truth always
rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority,
because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion,
while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no
opinion—and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority
is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while Truth again reverts to a new minority.
-- Soren Kierkegaard

I
refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless
midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can
never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love
will have the final word. -- Martin
Luther King, Jr | |

…in
place of the Old Bottom Line of money and power, a New Bottom Line of Love and
Generosity is possible. People of all faiths need to shape a political and social
movement that reaffirms the most generous, peace-oriented, social justice-committed,
and loving truths of the spiritual heritage of the human race. -- Rabbi
Michael Lerner | |
Truth
is generally the best vindication against slander. -- Abraham
Lincoln You
can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the
time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. -- Abraham
Lincoln (attributed) | |
|
It is one thing to show
a man that he is in error, and another to put him in possession of truth.
-- John Locke
One unerring mark of
the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than
the proofs it is built upon will warrant. -- John
Locke Justice
and truth are the common ties of society -- John
Locke |
| The
more honest you can be, the less you have to hide... when I have nothing to hide,
I have everything to give. -- Kenny
Loggins |
