No pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.
Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end, carrying us thither in a straight line.
Truth is a very different thing from fact; it is the loving contact of the soul with spiritual fact, vital and potent. It does not work in the soul independently of all faculty or qualification there for setting it forth or defending it. Truth in the inward parts is a power, not an opinion.
Truth does not consist in minute accuracy of detail; but in conveying a right impression.
No truth can be said to be seen as it is until it is seen in its relation to all other truths. In this relation only is it true.
The deepest truth blooms only from the deepest love.
Truth and justice are the immutable laws of social order.

Truth will ever be unpalatable to those who are determined not to relinquish error.
It is one thing to wish to have truth on our side, and another thing to wish to be on the side of truth.
The advent of truth, like the dawn of day, agitates the elements, while it disperses the gloom.
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
Dare to be true; nothing can need a lie; A fault which needs it most grows two thereby.
He who seeks truth must be content with a lonely, little-trodden path. If he cannot worship her till she has been canonized by the shouts of the multitude, he must take his place with the members of that wretched crowd who shouted for two long hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" till truth, reason, and calmness were all drowned in noise.

How sweet the words of truth breathed from the lips of love!
Pray over every truth; for though the renewed heart is not "desperately wicked," it is quite deceitful enough to become so, if God be forgotten a moment.
There is an inward state of the heart which makes truth credible the moment it is stated. It is credible to some men because of what they are. Love is credible to a loving heart; purity is credible to a pure mind; life is credible to a spirit in which life beats strongly—it is incredible to other men.
In all matters of eternal truth, the soul is before the intellect; the things of God are spiritually discerned. You know truth by being true; you recognize God by being like Him.
We must not let go manifest truths because we cannot answer all questions about them.
We must never throw away a bushel of truth because it happens to contain a few grains of chaff.
Stick to the old truths and the old paths, and learn their divineness by sick-beds and in every-day work, and do not darken your mind with intellectual puzzles, which may breed disbelief, but can never breed vital religion or practical usefulness.
Truth needs no flowers of speech.
Truth does not require your painting, brother; it is itself beauty. Unfold it, and men will be captivated. Take your brush to set off the rainbow, or give a new tinge of splendor to the setting sun, but keep it away from the "Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley."
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.
Just as soon as any conviction of important truth becomes central and vital, there comes the desire to utter it—a desire which is immediate and irresistible. Sacrifice is gladness, service is joy, when such an idea becomes a commanding power.
It is perilous to separate thinking rightly from acting rightly. He is already half false who speculates on truth and does not do it. Truth is given, not to be contemplated, but to be done. Life is an action—not a thought. And the penalty paid by him who speculates on truth, is that by degrees the very truth he holds becomes a falsehood.
