The more you begin to investigate what we think we understand, where we came from, what we think we’re doing, the more you begin to see we’ve been lied to – we’ve been lied to by every institution. What makes you thing for one minute that the religious institution is the only one that’s never been touched? The religious institutions of this world are at the bottom of the dirt. The religious institutions in this world are put there by the same people who gave you your government, your corrupt education, who set up your international banking cartels. Because our masters don’t give a damn about you or your family; all they care about is what they’ve always cared about – and that is controlling the whole damned world. We have been misled away from the true and divine presence in the universe that men have called God. I don’t know what God is, but I know what he isn’t – and unless and until you are prepared to look at the whole truth, wherever it may go, wherever it may lead to – if you want to look the other way, if you want to play favourites, then somewhere along the line you’re going to find out you’re messing with divine justice. The more you educate yourself, the more you understand where things come from, the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere. You have to know the truth and seek the truth and the truth will set you free. Jordan Maxwell, televised interview
God is going to do whatever He’s going to do, but just make sure you don’t get in the way, thinking you are doing something wonderful and come to find out, No, you are part of the problem. You haven’t done your homework ... I am totally convinced that there is a very powerful divine presence in the universe that I myself refer to as God. I don’t know what God is but I know what He isn’t. And consequently I have a high respect for that divine presence in the universe, and I think we need to get in tune with it: ’cause that’s the only thing that’s going to save us. Jordan Maxwell, lecture The Illuminat
People will always support what they want to hear ... The one thing that people generally speaking do not want to hear is the truth. Nobody is happy when they have to be faced with the truth. Jordan Maxwell, Project Camelot Conference September 2009
You see, what happens when you broadcast the truth is you piss everybody off. Bill Cooper
In the end perception can matter more than the truth. The Last Days of Lehman Brothers, opening commentary, BBC 2009
There is a war on truth. We have a contest in this country, not just a political one, but a moral one, a religious one, about what’s true and people debate it and argue very intensely about it. And that’s kind of the lifeblood of democracy isn’t it? Bob Woodward
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived. Oscar Wilde
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it. Oscar Wilde, The Portrait of Mr W H, 1901
The truth is rarely pure, and never simple. Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest 1895
If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out. Oscar Wilde
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. Oscar Wilde
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you. Oscar Wilde, The Nightingale and the Rose
Never get discouraged with how hard it is to find the truth. Ben Bradlee, cited The Newspaperman: The Life & Times of Ben Bradlee
It is only be dispelling the clouds and phantoms of religion that we shall discover truth, reason and morality. Baron d’Holbach
There are some truths, however, that we should never forget: Superstition has always been the relentless enemy of science; faith has been a hater of demonstration; hypocrisy has been sincere only in its dread of truth, and all religions are inconsistent with mental freedom. Robert G Ingersoll
It cannot be too often repeated that truth scorns the assistance of miracle. Robert G Ingersoll
No-one in the world’s whole history ever attempted to substantiate a truth by a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of miracle. Nothing but falsehood ever attested itself by signs and wonders. No miracle ever was performed, and no sane man ever thought he had performed one, and until one is performed, there can be no evidence of the existence of any power superior to, and independent of nature. Robert G Ingersoll
People like to say that faith and science can live together side by side, but I don’t think they can. They’re deeply opposed. Science is a discipline of investigation and constructive doubt, questing with logic, evidence and reason to draw conclusions; faith by stark contrast demands a positive suspension of critical faculties. Science proceeds by setting up hypotheses, ideas or models and then attempts to disprove them, so a scientist is constantly asking questions, being sceptical. Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time. Richard Dawkins, The Root of All Evil? The God Delusion, Channel 4 2006
I do care what’s true. Richard Dawkins, In Confidence, BBC 2010
What is comforting and what is true are two entirely different things. Richard Dawkins, lecture The God Delusion, Lynchburg Virginia
When considering the truth of a proposition, one is either engaged in an honest appraisal of the evidence and logical arguments, or one isn’t. Religion is one area of our lives where people imagine that some other standard of intellectual integrity applies. Sam Harris
There is no Religion higher than Truth. Madame Helena Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine
I know three things will never be believed – the true, the probable, and the logical. John Steinbeck, The Winter of our Discontent
We’re in a lot of trouble ... because you people and sixty-two million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3% of you people read books. Because less than 15% of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over of this tube. Right now there is a whole – an entire – generation that never knew anything that didn’t come out of this tube! This tube is the gospel! The ultimate revelation! This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers. This tube is the most awesome god-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people ... And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome god-damned propaganda for us in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be paid to the truth on this network! So you listen to me. Listen to me. Television is not the truth ...
