What happens is fact, not truth. Truth is what we think about what happens.

...logical validity is not a guarantee of truth.

Just because something is typed-whether it is typed on a business card or typed in a newspaper or book-this does not mean that it is true.

Just because an idea is true doesn't mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn't mean it's true.

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.

Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it isn't true.

What's real and what's true aren't necessarily the same.

Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.

[The truth] is what actually happens. Not what you want to happen. Not what you're afraid will happen. We make up stories when we want things to happen or are afraid they may happen. And sometimes we do it for fun-or to scare people or make them do our way or to hurt them. And sometimes we do it because it's a pretty story and we tell it just as we fly a kite or send balloons floating.

The truth is not simply what you think it is; it is also the circumstances in which it is said, and to whom, why, and how it is said.

You don’t believe things because they make your life better, you believe them because they’re true.

Just because it's the truth doesn't make it less insulting.

Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
