A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on

Truth, and goodness, and beauty, are but different faces of the same All

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts

To any artist, worthy of the name, all in nature is beautiful, because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth

Art-speech is the only truth. An artist is usually a damned liar, but his art, if it be art, will tell you the truth of his day. And that is all that matters. Away with eternal truth
