The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, for the truth. – Alfred Adler

One universe made up all that is; and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth. – Marcus Aurelius
Error always addresses the passions and prejudices; truth scorns such mean intrigue, and only addresses the understanding and the conscience. – Azel Backus
Truth arises more readily from error than from confusion. – Francis Bacon
Truth is a naked and open daylight – Francis Bacon
