Truth Quotes

|
This is a word best avoided entirely in physics except when placed in quotes, or with careful qualification. Its colloquial use has so many shades of meaning from ‘it seems to be correct' to the absolute truths claimed by religion, that its use causes nothing but misunderstanding. Someone once said "Science seeks proximate (approximate) truths." Others speak of provisional or tentative truths. Certainly science claims no final or absolute truths. It may also be defined as the knowledge of an external ideal. "Love serves truth, and truth is knowledge of an external ideal which is beyond the reach of the individual's will." The truth quotes are the ones that actually derive meaning of the word truth in the literal term as these quotes give you external knowledge about an external idea in conformity with certain facts and statements.
