Truth"[A]greement with observed facts" never singles out one individual theory. There is never only one theory that is in complete agreement with all observed facts, but several theories that are in partial agreement. We have to select the final theory by a compromise. The final theory has to be in fair agreement with observed facts and must also be fairly simple. If we consider this point, it is obvious that such a "final" theory cannot be "The Truth."
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
"There is no finality in the presentation of truth; it develops and grows to meet mans growing demand for light."
"But the fact is, the truth is a very dangerous thing and most people aren’t very careful with it because most of the time, they don’t even recognize it. Consequently, they end up lying when they think they’re being truthful, and spilling the truth when they think they’re covering up."
"Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow...that it passes through"
"Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth."
"The truth is so lovable that it has only to be known to be embraced."
