Truth Quote by Thomas Henry Huxley — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.”

“The person you hurt the most in this world was the person that brought you into it.”

“Truthfulness, honor, is not something which springs ablaze of itself; it has to be created between people. This is true in political situations. The quality and depth of the politics evolving from a group depends in large part on their understanding of honor. Much of what is narrowly termed "politics" seems to rest on a longing for certainty even at the cost of honesty, for an analysis which, once given, need not be re-examined…It isn't that to have an honorable relationship with you, I have to understand everything, or tell you everything at once, or that I can know, beforehand, everything I need to tell you. It means that most of the time I am eager, longing for the possibility of telling you. That these possibilities may seem frightening, but not destructive to me. That I feel strong enough to hear your tentative and groping words. That we both know we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us.”

“Self-interest, fear of physical pain, drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen. He ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.”

“Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.”

“The world was full of monsters, and they were all allowed to bite the innocent and the unwary”
