The experiences which drugs induce are as far removed from Reality as is a mirage, from water. No matter how much you pursue the mirage, you will never quench your thirst, and the search for Truth through drugs must end in disillusionment.
The truth is I've got the land on my back, an' it's drivin' me. Land is a hard driver.
Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive.
The usefulest truths are the plainest.
Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.
There are big and little truths, but all belong to the same race.
My uniform experience has convinced me that there is no other God than Truth
The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.

The true statement is, of itself, able to displace the erroneous idea, and becomes, without our having taken the trouble of refuting anyone, the best of refutations.
In truth, to attain to interior peace, one must be willing to pass through the contrary to peace. Such is the teaching of the Sages.
There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting for you to discover it, and that truth is this: you deserve all good things life has to offer.
We listened to them, but it was clear they'd received too much therapy to know the truth.
Friends are honest with each other. Even if the truth hurts. -Maggie
Baddies always do get the best lines, that's the honest truth.
Men don't achieve truth because they lack humility and love of truth. They won't criticize their own beliefs. Truth would overwhelm them.
Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong. ' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you
