An aphorism can never be the whole truth; it is either a half-truth or a truth-and-a-half.
Der Aphorismus deckt sich nie mit der Wahrheit; er ist entweder eine halbe Wahrheit oder anderthalb.
Karl Kraus (1874-1936)
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
Croyez ceux qui cherchent la vérité, doutez de ceux qui la trouvent.
André Gide (1869-1951)
For there is no error so crooked, but it hath in it some lines of truth; Nor is any poison so deadly, that it serveth not some wholesome use.
Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810-1889)
How many things served us yesterday for articles of faith, which today are fables for us?
Combien de choses nous servoyent hier d’articles de foy, qui nous sont fables aujourd’huy?
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.
