Marcus Tullius Cicero

In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.

Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable longing to see the truth.

We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.

Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
