Buddha:
Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. [paraphrased]

Demosthenes:
Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.

George Orwell:
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Gloria Steinem:
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

Heraklietos of Ephesos:
Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season.

Josh Billings:
As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.

Marcus Aurelius:
If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.

Mark Twain:
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.

Mark Twain:
Every generalization is dangerous, especially this one.

Mark Twain:
In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.
Autobiography, 1959

Noam Chomsky:
It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies.

Thomas Jefferson:
The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.

Voltaire:
As long as people believe in absurdities, they will continue to commit atrocities.

William Sloane Coffin:
The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.
