Sojourner Truth


Quotes:

No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.
View quotes by William Osler

Lawyers enjoy a little mystery, you know. Why, if everybody came forward and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth straight out, we should all retire to the workhouse.
View quotes by Dorothy L Sayers

A woman does not want the truth; what is truth to women? From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than the truth - her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty
View quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers (Basic Verities)
View quotes by Charles Peguy

The truth which makes me free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear (A Time for Greatness)
View quotes by Herbert Agar

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for the truth; and truth rewarded me.
View quotes by Simone De Beauvoir

Truth, naked, unblushing truth, the first virtue of all serious history, must be the sole recommendation of this personal narrative.
View quotes by Edward Gibbon

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. - The Prince
View quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli

The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, for the truth.
View quotes by Alfred Adler

Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
View quotes by Kahlil Gibran

Start a lie and a truth together, like hare and hound: the lie will run fast and smooth, and no man will ever turn it aside; but at the truth most hands will fling a stone, and so hinder it for sport's sake, if they can.
View quotes by Ouida

The first step toward finding God, Who is Truth, is to discover the truth about myself: and if I have been in error, this first step to truth is the discovery of my error.
View quotes by Thomas Merton

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.
View quotes by Tacitus

There is truth in Jesus which is terrible, as well as truth that is soothing; terrible, for He shall be Judge as well Saviour; and ye cannot face Him, ye cannot stand before Him, unless ye now give ear to His invitation
View quotes by Henry Melvill

Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth or the only truth.
View quotes by Charles A Dana

It is not telling the truth that makes politics seem negative, that makes people think all politicians do not tell the truth.

View quotes by Niels Bohr

An aphorism can never be the whole truth; it is either a half-truth or a truth-and-a-half.
View quotes by Karl Kraus

There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind, and its infinite manifestation, for God is All in All. Spirit is immortal Truth; Matter is mortal error
