Truth

"Nothing's real ,but all is possible if God is on my side" Michael Jackson

"The little bit of truth contained in many a lie is what makes them so terrible." Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

"Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable." Mark Twain

"Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation - it is the one unbreakable diamond." Leo Tolstoi

"Those who know nothing must believe everything." Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

"Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing." Philip K. Dick

"I have the fault of being a little more sincere than is proper." Molière

"We have been taught lies. Reality is not at all what we perceive it to be." Bill Cooper

"The American citizen lives in a world where fantasy is more real than reality, where the image has more dignity than its original. We hardly dare face our bewilderment, because our ambiguous experience is so pleasantly irridescent, and the solace of belief in contrived reality is so thoroughly real. We have become eager accessories to the great hoaxes of the age. These are the hoaxes we play on ourselves." Daniel J. Boorstin

"The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth, and truth be defamed as lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world - and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end - is being destroyed." Hannah Arendt

"To be true to one's own freedom is, in essence, to honor and respect the freedom of all others." Eisenhower

"Authenticity is about imperfection. And authenticity is a very human quality. To be authentic is to be at peace with your imperfections. The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great leaders are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don't know. The great leaders can't do everything; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human." Simon O. Sinek

"Apparently, 'conspiracy stuff' is now shorthand for unspeakable truth." Gore Vidal

"Official history is merely a veil to hide the truth of what really happened. When the veil is lifted, again and again we see that not only is the official version not true, it is often 100% wrong." David Icke
