The most dangerous enemy of the truth and freedom amongst us is the compact majority

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth

Truth and the hatred of truth come into our world together. As soon as truth appears, it is regarded as an enemy.

Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Facts are the enemy of truth.

Our lies reveal as much about us as our truths

Blind respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Facts, my dear Sancho, are the enemy of truth.

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth,

They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -Plato, philosopher (427-347 BCE)

It is time we recognized that all reasonable men and women have a common enemy. It is an enemy so near to us, and so deceptive, that we keep its counsel even as it threatens to destroy the very possibility of human happiness. Our enemy is nothing other than faith itself.

The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy.

A part of our nature rebels against this truth and against that other part which would accept it. A second truth of equal weight contradicts the first, proclaiming through art, religion, philosophy, science and even war that human life, in some way not easily definable, is significant and unique and supreme beyond all the limits of reason and nature. And this second truth we can deny only at the cost of denying our humanity.

Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it - what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellowmen. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.
