"Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism."
Hunter S. Thompson
"I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours."
Hunter S. Thompson
"Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong."
Thomas Jefferson
"Time passes, and little by little everything that we have spoken in falsehood becomes true."
Marcel Proust
"Lies are essential to humanity. They are perhaps as important as the pursuit of pleasure and moreover are dictated by that pursuit."
Marcel Proust
"Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty."
Tacitus
"Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it."
Tacitus
"Liars when they speak the truth are not believed."
Aristotle
"This truth should be kept constantly in mind by every free people desiring to preserve the sanity and poise indispensable to the permanent success of self-government."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Great liars are also great magicians."
Adolf Hitler
"A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding."
Isaac Newton
"Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it."
Emily Dickinson
"Truth is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is."
Winston Churchill
"In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."
Winston Churchill
"There are a lot of lies going around...and half of them are true."
Winston Churchill
"It's not enough to speak, but to speak true."
William Shakespeare
"I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs."
Samuel Goldwyn
"The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one."
Henry Mencken
"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place."
Henry Mencken
