Quotations about Truth

The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it. >>

Better suffer for the truth than proper in a falsehood. >>

What is truth? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for an answer. >>

Truth lies within ourselves: it takes no rise from outward things, whatever you may believe.

Browning, Robert
