• Lo que yo solía respetar no era realmente la aristocracia, sino un conjunto de cualidades personales que la aristocracia desarrollaba entonces mejor que cualquier otro sistema. . . un conjunto de cualidades, sin embargo, cuyo mérito residía únicamente en una psicología de desinterés no calculador y no competitivo, veracidad, valor y generosidad fomentada por una buena educación, un mínimo estrés económico y una posición asumida, Y TAN ALCANZABLE A TRAVÉS DEL SOCIALISMO COMO A TRAVÉS DE LA ARISTOCRACIA.

• Los filósofos no son suficientemente honestos en su trabajo, aunque hacen mucho ruido virtuoso cuando el problema de la veracidad se toca aunque sea remotamente. Todos posan como si hubieran descubierto y llegado a sus verdaderas opiniones mediante el autodesarrollo de una dialéctica fría, pura, divinamente despreocupada...; mientras que en el fondo se trata de una suposición, una corazonada, de hecho una especie de "inspiración" la mayoría de las veces un deseo del corazón filtrado y hecho abstracto que defienden con razones que han buscado a posteriori.

• The Book of Mormon is no fake. I know what I know. I have seen what I have seen and I have heard what I have heard. I have seen the gold plates from which the Book of Mormon is written. An angel appeared to me and others and testified to the truthfulness of the record, and had I been willing to have perjured myself and sworn falsely to the testimony I now bear I could have been a rich man, but I could not have testified other than I have done and am now doing for these things are true.

• The documentary photographer aims his camera at the real world to record truthfulness. At the same time, he must strive for form, to devise effective ways of organizing and using the material. For content and form are interrelated. The problems presented by content and form must be so developed that the result is fundimentally [sic] true to the realities of life as we know it. The chief problem is to find a form that adequately represents the reality.

• Paradigms power perception and perceptions power emotions. Most emotions are responses to perception - what you think is true about a given situation. If your perception is false, then your emotional response to it will be false too. So check your perceptions, and beyond that check the truthfulness of your paradigms - what you believe. Just because you believe something firmly doesn't make it true. Be willing to reexamine what you believe.

  William P. Young

• Perhaps, indeed, there are no truly universal ethics: or to put it more precisely, the ways in which ethical principles are interpreted will inevitably differ across cultures and eras. Yet, these differences arise chiefly at the margins. All known societies embrace the virtues of truthfulness, integrity, loyalty, fairness; none explicitly endorse falsehood, dishonesty, disloyalty, gross inequity. (Five Minds for the Future, p136)

  Howard Gardner

• Si realizas la tarea que tienes ante ti adhiriéndote siempre a la razón estricta con celo y energía y, sin embargo, con humanidad, haciendo caso omiso de todos los fines inferiores y manteniendo la divinidad dentro de ti pura y recta, como si incluso ahora te enfrentaras a su recuerdo - si te mantienes firme en esto, sin detenerte por nada y sin retroceder ante nada, sólo buscando en cada acción pasajera una conformidad con la naturaleza y en cada palabra y expresión una veracidad intrépida, entonces la buena vida será tuya. Y de este curso ningún hombre tiene el poder de retenerte.

  Marcus Aurelius

• To be a true hero you must be a true Christian. To sum up then, heroism is largely based on two qualities- truthfulness and unselfishness, a readiness to put one's own pleasures aside for that of others, to be courteous to all, kind to those younger than yourself, helpful to your parents, even if helpfulness demands some slight sacrifice of your own pleasure. . .you must remember that these two qualities are the signs of Christian heroism.

• It is said that the history of peoples who have a history is the history of class struggle. It might be said with at least as much truthfulness, that the history of peoples without history is a history of their struggle against the state.

• En contra de lo que cabría esperar, recuerdo con especial satisfacción experiencias que en su momento me parecieron especialmente desoladoras y dolorosas. De hecho, puedo afirmar con total veracidad que todo lo que he aprendido en mis setenta y cinco años en este mundo, todo lo que verdaderamente ha mejorado e iluminado mi existencia, ha sido a través de la aflicción y no a través de la felicidad, ya sea perseguida o alcanzada...".
