Everything is dual;
everything has poles;
everything has its pair of opposites;
like and unlike are the same;
opposites are identical in nature,
but different in degree;
extremes meet;
all truths are but half-truths;
all paradoxes may be reconciled. ~Kybalion

There are no whole truths;
all truths are half-truths.
It is trying to treat them as whole truths
that plays the devil. ~Alfred North Whitehead

What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth. ~John Keats

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. ~Mark Twain


Oh, the tangled webs we weave when we practice to deceive. ~Sir Walter Scott


Truth never dies, but lives a wretched life. ~Yiddish Proverb


If you can not find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it? ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold. ~Aristotle


Nothing is true or untrue ... only more or less effective. ~Rick Borovoy


Anything more than the truth would be too much. ~Robert Lee Frost


Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth. ~Ludwig Borne


I never give them hell. I just tell the truth, and they think it is hell. ~Harry S. Truman

The Great Way is not difficult;
It only avoids picking and choosing.
When love and hate are both absent,
Everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the slightest distinction, however,
And heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.
If you wish to see the truth,
Then hold no opinions for or against anything.
To set up what you like against what you dislike
Is a disease of the mind... ~Master Sozan


Silence is the medium through which we may perceive the depth of truth. ~Brother Andrew


The truth of a proposition has little to nothing to do with its psychodynamics. The notion that "truth will prevail" is merely a pious wish; history doesn't show it. ~Robert a. Heinlein
