The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.

Edgar Allan Poe

Aldous Huxley

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

Mahatma Gandhi

Like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed. I drew with a stick on the sand the diagrams of my motor. A thousand secrets of nature which I might have stumbled upon accidentally I would have given for that one which I had wrestled from her against all odds and at the peril of my existence.

Nikola Tesla

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways 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

Humility is not disgraceful, and carries no loss of true pride.

Ernest Hemingway

For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.

Ernest Hemingway

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Seneca

Truth never perishes (Veritas numquam perit).

Aren't we forgeting the true meaning of Christmas? You know, the birth of Santa.

Matt Groening

The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.

Sallust

To like and dislike the same things, that is indeed true friendship.

Sallust

I believe it to be true that dreams are the true interpreters of our inclinations; but there is art required to sort and understand them.

Alfred North Whitehead

A man who works beyond the surface of things,though he may be wrong himself, yet he clears the way for others and may make even his errors subservient to the cause of truth.

Edmund Burke

Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song; and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.

Alfred North Whitehead

I never set out to write a book to change women's lives, to change history. It's like, 'Who, me?' Yes, me. I did it. And I'm not that different from other women. ... Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman.

Betty Friedan

It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.

Will Durant

Truth is the mother of hatred.

Ausonius

Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries; and though, perhaps, somethimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturbe them.

John Locke

Repetition does not transform a lie into the truth.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

There is no other way of guarding oneself against flattery than by letting men understand that they will not offend you by speaking the truth; but when everyone can tell you the truth, you lose their respect.

Niccolo Machiavelli

The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.

Deepak Chopra

No one who has read official documents needs to be told how easy it is to conceal the essential truth under the apparently candid and all- disclosing phrases of a voluminous and particularizing report....

Woodrow Wilson

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

Woodrow Wilson

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.

Leo Tolstoy

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.

Leo Tolstoy

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conlusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleages, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.

Leo Tolstoy

She had wit, she had grace, she had beauty; But above all, she had truth.

John Ruskin

Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

No wonder Americans hate politics when, year in and year out, they hear politicians make promises that won't come true because they don't even mean them - campaign fantasies that win elections but don't get nations moving again.

Henri Frederic Amiel

An error is the more dangerous the more truth it contains.

Henri Frederic Amiel

The proposition that the people are the best keepers of their own liberties is not true. They are the worst conceivable, they are no keepers at all; they can neither judge, act, think, or will, as a political body.

Someone to give everything to. Someone.

Henry Rollins

It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.

Henry Rollins

I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell.

Harry S Truman

The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.

C. S. Lewis

It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

C. S. Lewis

Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.

Blaise Pascal

We know truth, not only by reason, but also by the heart.

Madame de Stael

Those who realize their folly are not true fools.

Chuang Tzu

What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

Hannah Arendt

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

Hannah Arendt

It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts...

It's disingenuous for the tobacco industry to claim that this PR stunt proves they are coming clean with the truth, ... It's like Dick Nixon taking credit for releasing the Watergate tapes.

Hubert H. Humphrey

Innately, children seem to have little true realistic anxiety. They will run along the brink of water, climb on the window sill, play with sharp objects and with fire, in short, do everything that is bound to damage them and to worry those in charge of them, that is wholly the result of education; for they cannot be allowed to make the instructive experiences themselves.

Sigmund Freud

The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

That is the true season of love, when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will love in the same way after us.

Bertrand Russell

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

Albert Einstein

The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.

Albert Einstein

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Albert Einstein

The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.

Albert Einstein

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

Albert Einstein

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

Albert Einstein

Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.

Bertrand Russell

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It's the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science. Whoever does not know it can no longer wander, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.

Albert Einstein

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Albert Einstein

I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.

Albert Einstein

It gets to a much larger truth. To appreciate it, you don't have to have a vagina with an Arctic tundra inside.

Lisa Chang

Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free.

Robert Burton

Be thou the first true merit to befriend, his praise is lost who stays till all commend.

I don't think that's necessarily true. I feel the same way about exotic dancers.

Andrea Anderson

One thing I will say is that Kenyon is never going to be able to erase the great memories I have of him and I'm sure that's true for our fans, ... He was a model for future players. I have great respect for what he accomplished here.

Ron Maclean

Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.

Alfred De Musset

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Samuel Johnson

It's pretty exciting. Going to Kansas City, a place I am familiar with, should help with the transition. This has always been a goal of mine. After dreaming about it as a high school player, and now seeing it come true, is just unbelievable.

Lance Watson

An aphorism is true where it has fixed the impression of a genuine experience.

Francis Herbert Bradley

The guys in this locker room have done a great job of making us feel like part of the team. This really is a close room. I know people get tired of hearing that, but it's true. Nobody feels beneath anybody -- like their importance is any less.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.

So long as little children are allowed to suffer, there is no true love in this world.

Isodore Duncan

Santa is our culture's only mythic figure truly believed in by a large percentage of the population. It's a fact that most of the true believers are under eight years old, and that's a pity.

Chris Van Allsburg

We are not the athletic boosters or anything like that. Our goal is to inform the public of the truth behind the school referendum.

Jonathon Mietzner

The truth is that this hurricane is severely bad, but it's not as bad as losing my mother.

David Sibley

Our engineers are using the most creative technology in the industry to develop this new generation of products that take tire performance to a higher level.

Larry Mason

True change takes place in the imagination.

Thomas Moore

They fraudulently made claims against me that weren't true.

Robert Cobb

My passion for opera-the eternal truth of drama through music-has grown, while my interest in performance has diminished. Which is perhaps as good a reason as any other to go quietly.

Lord Harewood

The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind.

H. L. Mencken

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

Mary Baker Eddy

There are no conflicts which cannot be resolved unless the true promoters of them remain hidden.

L. Ron Hubbard

It's a global economy and we hear that a lot. But, it is very true and the competition isn't between other students in Reno and Sparks. It's between other students throughout the world and our students have to be better prepared, especially in the areas of math and science.

Paul Dugan

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

Alfred A. Montapert

It is true that Fuhrman is a racist. And it is also true that he (Simpson) killed these two people. And we proved that he killed the two people. The evidence is there, you just have to find your way through the smoke.

Christopher Darden

But the truth was that he died from solitude, the enemy known but to few on this Earth, and whom only the simplest of us are fit to withstand. The brilliant Costaguanaro of the boulevards had died from solitude and want of faith in himself and others.

Joseph Conrad

The lack of a true national health care system is a man-made disaster that is causing unneeded pain, suffering and death.

Deborah Burger

It may be that without a vision men shall die. It is no less true that, without hard practical sense, they shall also die. Without Jefferson the new nation might have lost its soul. Without Hamilton it would assuredly have been killed in body.

James Truslow Adams

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

George Carlin

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Gary Adler
