The dignity of history consists in reciting events with truth and accuracy, and in presenting human agents and their actions in an interesting and instructive form. The first element in history, therefore, is truthfulness; and this truthfulness must be displayed in a concrete form.

The dignity of history.

In the end, only the truth will survive.

Truth can prevail only in virtue of truth itself.

Dignity is central to the sustainability of history.

Truth is an homage that the good man pays to his own dignity.

History is in a manner a sacred thing, so far as it contains truth; for where truth is, the supreme Father of it may also be said to be, at least, inasmuch as concerns truth.

Truth is the only safe ground to stand on.

The truth is the only thing worth having, and, in a civilized life, like ours, where so many risks are removed, facing it is almost the only courageous thing left to do.

The only thing really worth praying for is Truth.

The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.

Truth, not logic, is the cornerstone of history.

Truth is the only foundation of honour, and the surest source of a man's influence with his fellow-men. When you come across someone of whom those who know him say "so-and-so told me such and such a thing, so it must be true"– you are dealing, believe me, with a man to be reckoned with. But there are other aspects of Truth not quite so obvious as those with which I have been dealing. We have been thinking about Truth as between ourselves and others. There is also, and just as important, the matter of Truth within ourselves.

Our only weapon is the truth.
