Truth comes out of error more readily than out of confusion
Be so true to thyself as thou be not false to others
I speak truth, not so much as I would, but as much as I dare; and I dare a little the more I grow older
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it
The language of truth is simple
Truth hates delays
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to
As thou these ashes, little brook, wilt bear
Into the Avon, Avon to the tide
Of Severn, Severn to the narrow seas,
Into main ocean they, this deed accursed
An emblem yields to friends and enemies
How the bold teacher's doctrine, sanctified
By truth, shall spread, throughout the world dispersed.

To Wickliffe
