"In my public life I aspire to be naught but a figurehead, for the One Who made us, for self-evident truth, for principle, for right, for We the People, for Posterity, to be the truest representation of the foregoing I can be, in the land of the free, the home of the republican, constitutional form of representative self-government that our forebears sacrificed, and bled, and in some cases died, to give us."

"To God, Truth is the revelation of His own own character, and the nature of His creation, which can lead men to eternal salvation and happiness if they're simply willing to accept it. But to the devil and his sophist assistants, truth is no more than the bait used to draw men to destruction. God gives freely with both hands. The devil gives with one hand and takes away everything with the other."

"True unity can only be established around God, around the truth, around principle. Anything else is, at best , a fruitless diversion, or, at worst, a dangerous, destructive delusion. "

"The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is."
-- Winston Churchill
“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.”
-- Abraham Lincoln
"All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride legitimately, by the grace of God."
-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Roger C. Weightman, 1826
"Truth is incontrovertible. Ignorance can deride it; panic may resent it; malice may destroy it; but there it is."
-- Winston Churchill
"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it."
-- Patrick Henry, Give me liberty or give me death speech
