Quotes Regarding Truth
❖ Playing games with truth is the worst kind of Russian-roulette, yet the topic of truth is rarely even discussed, and more and more often not practiced.
To realize that someone we trusted has become untrustworthy is a crushing blow, but the most important thing to remember is that any of us are capable of telling a lie under the right circumstances.
A hub on the importance of maintaining the integrity that truthfulness gives us for our own peace of mind and for all of our relationships would be a good idea.
This hub, though, is designed to help us think about some thoughtful quotes on truth so we can focus on how honesty and dishonesty shape our thinking and our living.
While you take a look at these truth quotes, keep in mind the truth behind this quote, "Those who practice deceit forsake the mercy that could be theirs."
We want to make sure that the following is not true about us:
“Too Often, The First Reaction To Truth Is Hatred.”
A Practical Look at Honesty:
Timeless Truth Quotes
❖ One of my favorite quotes, “Truth invites scrutiny, error demands tolerance” has inspired me to post this list of truth quotes for HubPages.
Here is definitive instruction from God's Word for Believers, "Speak the truth in love."
This is one that should be heralded on Valentine’s Day, "True love would rather receive hate for telling the truth than adoration for telling lies."
One of the most humorous reads, "How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four; Calling A Tail A Leg Doesn’t Make It A Leg." (This is from a politician, no less!)
The most recent I’ve come across is, “A little truth makes deception acceptable.”

I like this hub about the truth. Here's another one:
When in doubt, tell the truth. --Mark Twain
I think the truth is essential in any good relationship. Voted/rated up.
this one was my favorite "True love would rather receive hate for telling the truth than adoration for telling lies." It is kind of like..."I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not"
I am glad that God has absolute truths whether people believe them or not. We can count on Him being true to us.
Sofs: Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving insightful comments. Speaking the truth in love is definitely a need! If you come across a truth quote, come back and add it to the list.
Pamela99:
"Essential," indeed!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving an addition to the list. It reminds me of how someone who persists in lying eventually comes to believe their own lies. Appreciate your input very much!
I like this truth hub , im going to share it with friends in facebook and rated it useful.
Tamarajo:
Whether people believe Him or not...how true. What a blessing and privilege it is to know that God is faithful to His Word. I think that some people do not believe the truths of His Word because God does not work always work in our time frame. That alone is an amazing study!
Thank you kindly for stopping by and participating in this conversation about truth so perceptively.
ImChemist:
Thank you very much, both for your comments and for sharing it with others.
Part of the reason I posted the hub is because I think that we as a society, both nationally and globally are literally starving for truth without even realizing it.
Again, thank you!
Oooh,love this and love the title. There seems to be this sense of entitlement even when it comes to blatantly lying. The cop-out is to say "I misspoke" - sigh! And the liar gets away with it.
One of my favorites goes something like this:
'To thine ownself, be true'
I enjoyed your hub - rated up! Yay!
Thanks much for your thoughtful response to the hub. Am so glad you enjoyed it.
The amount of lying that goes on is astounding. I like the various concepts of your quote. Imagine what kind of society we would have if everyone determined to be honest with themselves! Wow.
Thanks again!
Great hub about truth!
One of my favorites is - “A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.” - Oscar Wilde
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks much!
I believe there may be one in the list above that is a take-off from Wild's, but I'll add this one to the list. It's too true not to!
Appreciate your stopping by and adding to the discussion.
Thanks for sharing in this very thoughtful way. Here is one of my own:
"Sometimes the kindest truths are left unsaid." ~ Winsome
I enjoyed reading these. They will come in useful. Rated Up and others.
Winsome: So glad you stopped by. Your quote is wonderful! I'll be updating the hub soon and will definitely include this addition. Thanks bunches!
P.I.: Thanks so much for stopping in and commenting. So glad you enjoyed the hub. I do hope the quotes will be useful!
Thoroughly beautiful. You have an amazing mind!
Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments.
Wonderful Post! I always liked this one from the Bible.
"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"
Sunnie
Thank you kindly!
The passage from John 8 that you refer to is a wonderful study. Jesus' words to those who put their trust in Him (vs. 31-36) are part of a conversation that is timeless. And priceless!
Thank you for reminding me of all that we have to be thankful for! (John 10:10, John 14:6)
A suggestion: "People only fight for something they hope to be so, not for what they know to be so. Nobody is willing to die to prove that 2+2=4."
This is a paraphrase, not a quote. I wish I could remember the exact quote, and who said it.
Hmmm...I'll have to think about it for a while. Lots of people have fought and died for what they know to be so, but it is true that nobody is likely to die for 2+2=4. Maybe there's more to the paraphrase than I understand at this point.
Thanks much for stopping by and contributing to the conversation.
If only more people could only get this point of view. I agree whole heartedly with it. Respect for each other is what it is all about. Trouble is, the ones who respect are not always given the same.
True, 'tis true, however, those who do respect truth eventually rise above those who don't. It's one of those unwritten rules of life in a world that is not fair. Reminds me of another kind of quote, "The wheels of justice may grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine."
Love it! - "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth," Oscar Wilde - I love this stuff!
Interesting addition!
Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate your comment very much.
Interesting. I like when people start an explanation with, "well the truth is" or "truthfully..." I usually expect some lie or deception to follow:(
It's probably a good idea to let a beginning like that make us stop and think, anyway! :)
Awesome hub. Most people have trouble excepting that there are spiritual laws. Gravity works weather you believe in it or not. So do spiritual laws. It doesn't even matter what you call them. They still work. Karma, what goes around comes around, or what God calls it reaping and sowing.
Thanks very much for stopping by and commenting with good points.
Great hub! Voted up!
Thanks much Joshua526. Appreciate your visit and your vote!
Really awesome hub! And the truth be told.you are an inspiration for me. I really enjoy your work. You are detailed and insightful! Honest! :-)
Thanks very kindly. I'm glad you enjoyed the hub. So appreciate that you came by! :)
Nice hub. I am following your hubs. Karma governs the world. People deny it but it does. Voted up.
tarajeyaram:
So glad you could stop in--thanks for following my work! So much confusion comes from wrong definitions, and knowing what people mean depends on having the right definitions!
Appreciate your visit and vote!

This is a beautiful hub... I wish most believers understood that The Truth needs to be spoken in love and not in condemnation...I liked this one especially 'Truth Is Beautiful, Without Doubt; But Without Doubt, So Are Lies.'
Nice going.God Bless!
