Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.—Proverbs 16:20.
Truth.—There is no right faith in believing what is true, unless we believe it because it is true.—Whately.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshipers.
—Bryant.
Truth is simple, requiring neither study nor art.—Ammian.
And all the people then shouted, and said, Great is truth, and mighty above all things.—Esdras.
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smooth pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.—Newton.
For truth has such a face and such a mien,
As to be lov'd needs only to be seen.
—Dryden.
Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.—Walter Scott.
Truth is violated by falsehood, and it may be equally outraged by silence.—Ammian.
Truth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to help it out. It is always near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware; whereas a lie is troublesome, and sets a man's invention upon the rack; and one trick needs a great many more to make it good.—Tillotson.
