Truth is a shining goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of all the devotion of which the human spirit is capable.
Science does not aim at establishing immutable truths and eternal dogmas; its aim is to approach the truth by successive approximations, without claiming that at any stage final and complete accuracy has been achieved.
New truth is often uncomfortable, especially to the holders of power; nevertheless, amid the long record of cruelty and bigotry, it is the most important achievement of our intelligent but wayward species.
I believe that love of truth is the basis of all real virtue, and that virtues based upon lies can only do harm.
Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
‘Truth’ is a governmental concept.
