He travels safest in the dark who travels lightest.—­Cortes.

Usually speaking, the worst-bred person in company is a young traveler just returned from abroad.—­Swift.

Trust.—­I think we may safely trust a good deal more than we do.  —­Thoreau.

Trust with a child-like dependence upon God, and you shall fear no evil, for be assured that even “if the enemy comes in like a flood” the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.  While at that dread hour, when the world cannot help you, when all the powers of nature are in vain, yea, when your heart and your flesh shall fail you, you will be enabled still to rely with peace upon Him who has said “I will be the strength of thy heart and thy portion for ever.”  —­H.  Blunt.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.—­George MACDONALD.

Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.—­Proverbs 16:20.

Truth.—­There is no right faith in believing what is true, unless we believe it because it is true.—­Whately.

Truth crushed to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshipers. 
—­Bryant.

Truth is simple, requiring neither study nor art.—­AMMIAN.

And all the people then shouted, and said, Great is truth, and mighty above all things.—­Esdras.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smooth pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.—­Newton.

For truth has such a face and such a mien,
As to be lov’d needs only to be seen. 
—­Dryden.

Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.—­Walter Scott.

Truth is violated by falsehood, and it may be equally outraged by silence.—­AMMIAN.

Truth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to help it out.  It is always near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware; whereas a lie is troublesome, and sets a man’s invention upon the rack; and one trick needs a great many more to make it good.—­Tillotson.

You need not tell all the truth, unless to those who have a right to know it; but let all you tell be truth.—­Horace Mann.

No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.—­Bacon.

Nothing from man’s hands, nor law, nor constitution, can be final.  Truth alone is final.—­Charles Sumner.

The greatest friend of truth is time; her greatest enemy is prejudice; and her constant companion is humility.—­Colton.
