Wahrheit / Truth Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Wahrheit / Truth:

If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library? Lily Tomlin

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus Christ

If the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising. For the best part of two centuries, we British ruled the waves, controlled two-fifths of the planet, and believed it was our responsibility to bring civilisation to those who allegedly lacked it.

Martin Jacques

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me, there's a truth in your heart that says you'll never leave me, and the touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall.

Alison Krauss

Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.

Ludwig Borne

Time is the father of truth, its mother is our mind.

Giordano Bruno

Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with 'the world'; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous.

Nelson Goodman

What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it?

Henry Miller

I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth.

Randy Newman

The earth is such a voluminous, sparse, wild place that has its own rhythm that human beings try to control and strategize our way around, but the truth is, if you're out someplace like the ocean on a capsized boat, it doesn't matter if you have academic degrees, or if you're a martial-arts ninja. Nature is a bigger force than you.

Rachael Taylor

The smallest number, with God and truth on their side, are weightier than thousands.

Charles Simmons

What emerged, of course, was that the magnitude scale presupposed that all earthquakes were alike except for a constant scaling factor. And this proved to be closer to the truth than we expected.

Charles Francis Richter

Everything takes me longer than I expect. It's the sad truth about life.

Donna Tartt

It's all a sham: I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth.

David Brock

In the plays - that's where I go crazy. But my prose has a much lighter touch; it's not trying to thrill with language, just to be more truthful. I'm not concerned with the accuracy of anything. We don't get to the truth of anything with facts.

Denis Johnson

When you put your hand on the Bible, you are saying something much stronger than just telling your peers that you're going to tell the truth.

Lee Greenwood

The way I navigate scenes is through what I perceive to be the emotional truth of the character: what he wants from moment to moment.

Ben Bass

Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.

I am a free spirit. I tell the truth, and I like to mix it up.

Ed Rendell

The distinctive feature of my family was intolerance of sensitivity and emotion - 'Everything's great, it all has to be great all the time and why do you have to spoil it?' Whereas probably the most fundamental and important thing to me has been defending my right to tell the truth about how I feel.

Rachel Cusk

Most of the e-mails I get nowadays are from students who ask me how I got my start. In truth it's from having a really supportive family but also having a good patron who will help you - like financing all those early trips I took.

Ryan McGinley

You need not wonder at my knowing all human languages; for, to tell you the truth, I also understand all the secrets of human silence.

Apollonius of Tyana

In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always.

Walter Savage Landor

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

Giordano Bruno

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.

Angelina Jolie

The truth about love is that you don't always fall in love with whom you are supposed to fall in love with. Love just hits you. It is a transcendent thing. Sometimes it is your best friend's husband and sometimes it's your father. It's weird. But that's a fact of life.

Meg Rosoff

It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth,' and so it goes away. Puzzling.

Robert M. Pirsig

Artists speak the truth to the public without fear of retribution or damage to their careers.

Ron Silver

Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful.

Charles Bradlaugh

They whom truth and wisdom lead, can gather honey from a weed.

William Cowper

Autobiography should be more stringent. It should adhere more to the standards of journalism - assuming that journalism has the truth. The memoir gives you more scope, is more poetic, and allows you to play around with your own life.

Frank McCourt

The truth is that a number of us have been saying for quite some time that it was only a matter of time until someone went to a gun show, bought a military-like semi-automatic assault weapon with a large capacity magazine, and did enormous damage.

David Petraeus

Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.

The truth of it is that women are far more logical than men.

George Hamilton

No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.

The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy.

Robert Louis Stevenson
