Man's mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
A truth that disheartens because it is true is of more value than the most stimulating of falsehoods.
Falsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being.
There is no lie that a man will not believe; and there is no man who does not believe many lies; and there is no man who believes only lies.
Man associates ideas not according to logic or verifiable exactitude, but according to his pleasure and interests. It is for this reason that most truths are nothing but prejudices.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
The object of the superior man is truth.
Sometimes, surely, truth is closer to imagination or to intelligence, to love than to fact? To be accurate is not to be right.
The truthful man is usually a liar.
