Does truth have a moral?
Right and wrong are not the product of census.
Facts must be manipulated; some must be brightened; others shaded; yet, in the process, they must never lose their integrity.
For truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in every way; its use, noble as it is, has its circumscriptions and limits.
Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.
The whole body of what is now called moral or ethical truth existed in the golden age as abstract science. Or, if we prefer, we may say that the laws of Nature are the purest morality.
The only amaranthine flower on earth is virtue; the only lasting treasure, truth.
All expression of truth does at length take this deep ethical form.
Knowledge is truthful only if it’s based in morality.
