Yet, analytical truth is not as mysterious, or as secret, so as to not allow us to see that people with a talent for directing consciences see truth rise spontaneously.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.
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 discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.
Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
But truth is most likely to be exhibited by the general sense of contemporaries, when the feelings of the heart can be expressed without suffering itself to be disguised by the prejudices of man.
An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
It is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth, in which alone it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of human beings to Truth is one of hostility and fear!
Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.
