In matters of truth the fact that you don't want to publish something is nine times out of ten a proof that you ought to publish it.

Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.

Too much and too little wine. Give him none he cannot find truth give him too much the same.

To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So you know I think as far as our country goes we need more people who will do that.

We know the truth not only by the reason but also by the heart.

Contradiction is not a sign of falsity nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.

Silence is the mother of truth.

I have the terrible feeling that because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats not Mount Sinai.

Fiction is the truth inside the lie.

The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
