The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of introducing it into the minds which were ignorant of its charms.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
Truth is much stranger than fiction and, often, much more powerful.
One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.
The truth cannot be deceptive, and one who sees it cannot be deceived.
Truth engenders hatred of truth. As soon as it appears, it is the enemy.
The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty.
