Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Truth is life's most precious commodity.

Nature admits no lie.

The truth is ever best.

A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life.

How absurd these words are, such as beast and beast of prey. One should not speak of animals in that way. They may be terrible sometimes, but they're much more right than men...They're never in any embarrassment. They always know what to do and how to behave themselves. They don't flatter and they don't intrude. They don't pretend. They are as they are, like stones or flowers or stars in the sky.

I don't like to act in my personal life. I like to be straightforward.

OK, so truth hurts - but what else does truth do?

Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth.

One of the sublimest things in the world is plain truth.

Stripping away artifice - it's the constant standard I aim for in acting, to approximate life. People talk about being bigger than life - but there's nothing bigger than life.

For truth has such a face and such a mien, as to be loved needs only to be seen.

In order to be transparent, you really have to be completely honest and open, so that's how I've lived my life, and that's where I am now. I am completely transparent. There's nothing that you can't ask me and nothing I won't talk about.

I live a very real life.

The truth needs so little rehearsal.

I tell it like it is. I tell it like I see it. I tell it like I envision it. I tell it like I live it.

The words of truth are simple.

There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points.

Keep it simple. Tell the truth. People can smell the truth.

Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.

I Want The Truth

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.

I seek the truth.

I am truth. I was made of truth.

I feel like when you just say what the truth is, you can't really comment more than that.

Don't write slogans, write truths.
