The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them.
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth — not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.

There is but One God. His name is Truth; He is the Creator. He fears none; he is without hate. He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death. He is self-illuminated. He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru. He was True in the beginning; He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True. He is also True now.

Do not love leisure. Waste not a minute. Be bold. Realize the Truth, here and now!
A great writer requires a great biography, and a great biography must tell the truth.
Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move.
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty', — that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth — that's what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.
Real intimacy depends on truth — lovingly told — especially in the bedroom.
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
Never lie when the truth is more profitable.
