There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.

Fables should be taught as fables myths as myths and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

All great truths begin as blasphemies.

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths which come about us like birds seeking inlet but we are shut up to them and so they bring us nothing but sit and sing awhile upon the roof and then fly away.

To communicate the truths of history is an act of hope for the future.

I've thought for the last decade or so the only actual place raw truth was seeping through in newspapers was on the Comics Pages. They were able to pull off intelligent social comment pure truths not found elsewhere in the news pages and had the ability to make it all funny entertaining and pertinent.

In this connection faith and experience teach us many truths by means of the short-cut of authority and by the proofs of very pleasant and agreeable feelings.

Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past the record of truths revealed by experience is eminently practical as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.

Any education that matters is liberal. All the saving truths all the healing graces that distinguish a good education from a bad one or a full education from a half empty one are contained in that word.

The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.

Europe is dying. That is one of the unsayable truths of our time. We are undergoing the moral equivalent of climate change and no one is talking about it.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

All significant truths are private truths. As they become public they cease to become truths they become facts or at best part of the public character or at worst catchwords.

Stories are amazing and powerful because they can resonate with people depending on their needs and experiences and speak truths we need to hear in that moment in time.

I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity and mostly just be brave.
