Error is the force that welds men together; truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false; animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie.

It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.
