If we didn't fear the truths we didn't hear, we'd lose the need to fear the ones we did.
Our creations are the outward expressions of our inner truths.
For the utilitarian, there is a fact of the matter about the good (the general happiness, or whatever conception of the good the utilitarian adopts) and about which actions or moral rules would contribute to maximizing the good. For the rational intuitionist, there are truths about which actions should be done and not done.
The truths of the gospel do not change. If you will follow the Christ, follow his prophet, and follow his Spirit, you will always choose the right. As a result of your wise choices, your testimony will grow stronger, and great blessings of joy, happiness, and peace will be yours.
Truths kindle light for truths.
There are no whole truths: All truths are half-truths.
Better a child should be ignorant of a thousand truths than have consecrated in its heart a single lie.
Fact and fiction are different truths.
There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays to the devil.
Blessed are they who translate every good thing they know into action - even higher truths shall be revealed to them.
Some truths are seen better through tears.
An honorable human relationship- that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word "love"- is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other. It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation. It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity. It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us.
Half truths were a wonderful way to inspire credibility.
All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, The insignificant is as big to me as any, (What is less or more than a touch).
Free speech is essential to education, especially to a liberal education, which encourages the search for truths in art and science. If expression is restricted, the range of inquiry is also curtailed. . . The beneficiaries of a free society have a duty to pursue the truth and to protect the freedom of expression that makes possible the search for a new enlightenment.
. . . when truths disappear, they leave behind blank spaces, and that is also dangerous.
An aphorism is never exactly true; it is either a half-truth or one-and-a-half truths.
It is often said it is no matter what a man believes if he is only sincere. This is true of all minor truths, and false of all truths whose nature it is to fashion a man's life. It will make no difference in a man's harvest whether he thinks turnips have more saccharine matter than potatoes--whether corn is better than wheat. But let the man sincerely believe that seed planted without ploughing is as good as with, that January is as favorable for seed sowing as April, and that cockle seed will produce as good a harvest as wheat, and will it make no difference?
There is always room for at least two truths.
Isn't it too bad that the great truths are all such lies.
