Truth Quote by Daniel Webster — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“on doit des égards aux vivants, on ne doit aux morts que la vérité.”

“Nothing but truth is immortal.”

“Literature, like magic, has always been about the handling of secrets, about the pain, the destruction, and the marvelous liberation that can result when they are revealed. Telling the truth when the truth matters most is almost always a frightening prospect. If a writer doesn't give away secrets, his own or those of the people he loves; if she doesn't court disapproval, reproach, and general wrath, whether of friends, family, or party apparatchiks; if the writer submits his work to an internal censor long before anyone else can get their hands on it, the result is pallid, inanimate, a lump of earth.”

“…In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.”

“I have never killed anybody, it is true, but it is because I lacked the courage or the time, not because I lacked the desire”

“If they told us what to believe, and we didn't come to it on our own, is it still true?”
