 Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, are things Christ unsparingly condemned. Destitute of fire, they are nothing more than a godless philosophy, an ethical system, and a superstition. Author: Samuel Chadwick |
| The man who thinks he can know the Word of God by mere intellectual study is greatly deceived. Spiritual truth is spiritually discerned. Author: Samuel Chadwick |
| God deceiveth thee not. Author: Thomas a Kempis |
| A lover of Jesus and of the truth can lift himself above himself in spirit. Author: Thomas a Kempis |
| Do not be influenced by the importance of the writer, and whether his learning be great or small, but let the love of pure truth draw you to read. Do not inquire, Who said this? but pay attention to what is said. Author: Thomas a Kempis |
| Truth is mighty and will prevail. Author: Thomas Brooks |

| Where truth goes, I will go, and where truth is I will be, and nothing but death shall divide me and the truth. Author: Thomas Brooks |
| Whoever is afraid of submitting any question, civil or religious, to the test of free discussion, is more in love with his own opinion than with truth. Author: Thomas Watson |
| The first step toward finding God, Who is Truth, is to discover the truth about myself: and if I have been in error, this first step to truth is the discovery of my error. Author: Thomas Merton |
| For years, maybe, you have tried fruitlessly to exercise control over yourself, and perhaps this is still your experience; but when once you see the truth you will recognize that you are indeed powerless to do anything, but that in setting you aside altogether God has done it all. Such discovery brings human striving and self-effort to an end. Author: Watchman Nee |
| How pitiful that his mind was overruled by his emotion; his reasoning, overcome by his affection. Why is it that men "did not believe the truth?" Because they "had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thess. 2:12). It is not that the truth is unreasonable but that it is not loved. Hence when one truly turns to the Lord he "believes with his heart (not mind) and so is justified" (Rom. 10:10). Author: Watchman Nee |
| Genuine spiritual knowledge lies not in wonderful and mysterious thoughts but in actual spiritual experience through union of the believer's life with truth. Author: Watchman Nee |
