Truth

"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

"A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all."

"(Speaking about ponies engaging in a game of running around and chasing a ball with "imaginary riders")Along with everything else about it, it seemed to be a parable for life. Going forwards and backwards and round in circles, striving ever forward only to have to run like crazy backwards to get the ball again, realizing that your enemy is after the same goal and you're actually helping him toward it and getting roughed up and possibly killed while you're at it but still feeling the comradeship of being in the game all together."

"And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre."

"There is a difference between the truth and what we wish were true."

"The secret is...good and evil are a myth. There is only the selfish, selfless, and those in between."

"May your eyes be the eyes of truth And guided from deception"

"The moment you tell someone else is the moment you become a whiner and the world’s smallest violin starts to play. The truth is, we all have problems."

"When you think you have a big problem, step back. Envision yourself as a small dot on this blue marble we call Earth, that's orbiting the Sun at the centre of our Solar System, that also becomes a tiny dot our Milky Way galaxy, that is all but invisible in our vast Universe. How big is that problem really?"

"To solve your problems, stop worrying."

"Truth told today about yesterday's act can prevent a lot of tomorrow's problems"

"Problems and problems... and problems and the whole truth was told.(Holiday Engagement 2011 - Movie)"

"When you turn your back to the truth, the truth will soon appear before you!"

"If a nation wants to be deceived, let it be deceived! Through this way, they will learn the truth after many deceptions and pains! Truth and time are the greatest teachers, they are the greatest instructors!"

"If you want to make God laugh, tell him-her your plan"

"We can only speak the truth that we know at the time it is known."

"Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them," said Mr. Sutton. "You show them the tiniest edge of your secret, but the rest you keep under wraps."
