Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But, it's usually too battered with rules to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies.

There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.

Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society.

In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
