QUOTES ABOUT TRUTH

Picture by Rosetta Star.

“Men hate those to whom they have to lie.” ~ Victor Hugo

“Those who have the privilege to know, have the duty to act.” ~ Albert Einstein

“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.”  ~ Mohandas Gandhi

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

“The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those who speak it.” ~ George Orwell

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ~ Carl Sagan

“If you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ~ Malcolm X 

“The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.” ~ Herbert Sebastien Agar
