Never let a sense of what is right blind you to what is true

Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect; get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust

Error is the force that welds men together; truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth

The people are the only censors of their governors, and even their errors will tend to keep these to the true principles of their institution

Truth is immortal; error is mortal

Nothing hurts a new truth more than an old error

Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it

Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions

And now I depart hence condemned by you to suffer the penalty of death, and they, too, go their ways condemned by the truth to suffer the penalty of villainy and wrong; and I must abide by my award - let them abide by theirs

A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.
