The soul is unwillingly deprived of truth.

Truth-that long clean clear simple undeviable unchallengeable straight and shining line, on one side of which black is black and on the other white is white, has now become an angle, a point of view.

Truth is a flower in whose neighbourhood others must wither.

Truth fears no trial.

Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."

The truths of life are not discovered by us. At moments unforeseen, some gracious influence descends upon the soul, touching it to an emotion which, we know not how, the mind transmutes into thought.

The brilliant passes, like the dew at morn; The true endures, for ages yet unborn.

One truth discovered, one pang of regret at not being able to express it, is better than all the fluency and flippancy in the world.

Political truth is a libel-religious truth blasphemy.

Unless you expect the unexpected you will never find [truth], for it is hard to discover and hard to attain.
