When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.

The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility.

We live in a world of denial, and we don't know what the truth is anymore.

There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.

If we are to take for the criterion of truth the majority of suffrages, they ought to be gotten from those philosophic and patriotic citizens who cultivate their reason.

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

To tell the truth is to become beautiful, to begin to love yourself, value yourself. And that's political, in its most profound way.

Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false.

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
