• La teoría de que el pensamiento no es más que un movimiento en el cerebro es, en mi opinión, un disparate; porque si así fuera, la propia teoría no sería más que un movimiento, un acontecimiento entre átomos, que puede tener velocidad y dirección pero del que no tendría sentido utilizar las palabras "verdadero" o "falso".

• Si "dios" es un término metafísico, entonces no puede ser ni siquiera probable que exista un dios. Decir que "Dios existe" es hacer una afirmación metafísica que no puede ser ni verdadera ni falsa. Y según el mismo criterio, ninguna frase que pretenda describir la naturaleza de un dios trascendente puede tener significado literal.

• Don't lies eventually lead to the truth? And don't all my stories, true or false, tend toward the same conclusion? Don't they all have the same meaning? So what does it matter whether they are true or false if, in both cases, they are significant of what I have been and what I am? Sometimes it is easier to see clearly into the liar than into the man who tells the truth. Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

• [El hombre está acostumbrado, desde que era niño, a tener una docena de filosofías incompatibles danzando juntas dentro de su cabeza. No piensa en las doctrinas como "verdaderas" o "falsas", sino como "académicas" o "prácticas", "anticuadas" o "contemporáneas", "convencionales" o "despiadadas". La jerga, no los argumentos, es tu mejor aliado para alejarlo de la Iglesia. No pierdas el tiempo intentando hacerle creer que el materialismo es cierto. Hazle creer que es fuerte, descarnado o valiente, que es la filosofía del futuro. Ese es el tipo de cosas que le importan.

• As witnesses not of our intentions but of our conduct, we can be true or false, and the hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

• Because since the beginningless past we are running after objects, not knowing where our Self is, we lose track of the Original Mind and are tormented all the time by the threatening objective world, regarding it as good or bad, true or false, agreeable or disagreeable. We are thus slaves of things and circumstances.

• The intensity of a conviction that a hypothesis is true has no bearing on whether it is true or false. The importance of the strength of our conviction is only to provide a proportionately strong incentive to find out if the hypothesis will stand up to critical evaluation.

• I had a back-and-forth where I asked Donald Trump, is it true or false that he said the government should pay for everyone's health care? He said it's false. Listen, within minutes, we put out a video just contrasting what he said there with video of him just a few months earlier saying exactly the opposite.

• The reporting is fake. Look, look...You know what it is? Here's the thing. The public isn't - you know, they read newspapers, they see television, they watch. They don't know if it's true or false because they're not involved.But I'm involved. So I know when you're telling the truth or when you're not. I just see many, many untruthful things.

• Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.

• Isolating the student from large sections of human knowledge is not the basis of a Christian education. Rather it is giving him or her the framework for total truth, rooted in the Creator's existence and in the Bible's teaching, so that in each step of the formal learning process the student will understand what is true and what is false and why it is true or false.

• No olvides que pocas personas dicen más que una pequeña parte de la verdad: nadie dice gran parte de la verdad, y mucho menos toda la verdad. Las palabras son hechos en sí mismas, verdaderas o falsas. Cuando la gente habla se revela a sí misma, tanto si miente como si dice la verdad.

• Como dijo el élder George F. Richards, Presidente del Consejo de los Doce, en un discurso pronunciado en una conferencia en abril de 1947, 'cuando decimos algo malo de los líderes de la Iglesia, ya sea verdadero o falso, tendemos a perjudicar su influencia y su utilidad y estamos así obrando contra el Señor y su causa' ... El Espíritu Santo no guiará ni confirmará las críticas al ungido del Señor, ni a los líderes de la Iglesia, locales o generales. Esta realidad debe ser parte de la evaluación espiritual que los lectores y espectadores SUD apliquen a aquellas cosas escritas sobre nuestra historia y aquellos que la hicieron.
