The history of our race, and each individual s experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal.

The truth is balance, but the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.

A peace-mingling falsehood is preferable to a mischief-stirring truth.

We perceive an image of truth, and possess only a lie.

What kind of truth is it which has these mountains as its boundary and is a lie beyond them?

Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.

Truth does not do as much good in the world as its imitations do harm.

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

Irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.

If a man fasten his attention on a single aspect of truth and apply himself to that alone for a long time, the truth becomes distorted and not itself but falsehood.

Though truth and falsehood be Near twins, yet truth a little elder is.

Would that I could discover truth as easily as I can uncover falsehood.

It is only a good, sound, truthful person who can lie to any good purpose; if a man is not habitually truthful his very lies will be false to him and betray him.

Truth exists. Only lies are invented.

Lies are the religion of slaves and bosses. Truth is the god of the free man.

A Hair perhaps divides the False and True.
