Truth is born into this world only with pangs and tribulations, and every fresh truth is received unwillingly.

To expect the world to receive a new truth, or even an old truth, without challenging it, is to look for one of those miracles which do not occur.

Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods, and of every good to man.

Eclecticism - every truth is so true that any truth must be false.

I spent, as you know, a year and a half in a clergyman's family and heard almost every Tuesday the very best, most earnest and most impressive preacher it has ever been my fortune to meet with, but it produced no effect whatever on my mind.

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
