Deep and esoteric
Just when I forget that he is really the deep thinker type -my husband says something that reminds me like a jolt of lightening across a stormy summer sky.
In a discussion today, he remarks..."Did you ever notice that people who deal in the truth are never well paid? The truth doesn't sell. The people who spin the truth into what will be believable - palatable - they're usually well paid." Here he means P.R. people for whom he has very little respect.
I stopped and thought a second...O.K. two...O.K. he's so right. Interesting, I'm just say'n... Some truth -isms on which to reflect.
Galileo:
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
Arthur Conan Doyle: (also Dr. Spock)
Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
Dorothy Thompson:
There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.
Edward R. Murrow:
Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit.
Mark Twain:
Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing the matter with this, except that it ain't so.
William Sloane Coffin:
The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.
William James:
The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.
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.
I am not a big Steinem fan...no I'm not, but she's got something there...
What's your favorite truth - ism?

Quotes that are about the truth, or speak the truth? Try this one by JPII:
"Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence."
Just sayin'.
