It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not the truth that a man possesses, or believes that he possesses, but the earnest effort which he puts forward to reach the truth, which constitutes the worth of a man.
Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man; its publication is a duty.
Truth, also is the pursuit of it.
We seek for truth in ourselves; in our neighbours, and in its essential nature. We find it first in ourselves by severe self scrutiny, then in our neighbours by compassionate indulgence, and, finally, in its essential nature by that direct vision which belongs to the pure in heart.
Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.
The inspired Scriptures make the clear distinction between false and true riches and make plain the reason why happiness is gained and fully enjoyed only by those who find true riches.
He who seeks truth shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty shall find vanity. He who seeks order shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed. He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self-expression. He who seeks self-expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance.
The search for truth is not a trade by which a man can support himself; for a priest it is a supreme peril .
