Richard Whately Truth Quotations

Everyone wishes to have truth on his side, but not everyone wishes to be on the side of truth.

All men wish to have truth on their side; but few to be on the side of truth.

As one may bring himself to believe almost anything he is inclined to believe, it makes all the difference whether we begin or end with the inquiry, 'What is truth?'

There is no right faith in believing what is true, unless we believe it because it is true.

Neither human applause nor human censure is to be taken as the best of truth; but either should set us upon testing ourselves.
