Truth

  1. God is the one and only Truth. (10/28/12)
    1. Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. " If we truly loved Jesus than we would love the truth and follow the truth wherever it lead us, even if it leads us away from our preconceived ideas of what is true. (5/14/13)
  2. The truth is like beauty. You'll know it when you see it. (6/22/12)
  3. True statements are not the Truth but only point to the Truth.
  4. True statements tell us about the nature of reality. False statements tell us about the nature of their proclaimer. (5/21/13)
  5. The truth is what is. (2/21/12)
  6. "The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it."- H.G. Wells (7/20/11)

  10. "The truth, indeed, is something that mankind, for some mysterious reason, instinctively dislikes. Every man who tries to tell it is unpopular, and even when, by the sheer strength of his case, he prevails, he is put down as a scoundrel." - H.L. Mencken (9/15/11)
  11. The truth should never cause anger. If it does than tou have been living a lie. -Tamatin Arasi (1/21/12)
  12. The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.”-Gloria Steinem (1/21/12)
