Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love.
While you live tell the truth and shame the devil.
As there comes light from heaven and words from breath, As there is sense in truth and truth in virtue
Is not the truth the truth?
Time's glory is to command contending kings, To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light.
O, while you live, tell truth, and shame the Devil!
Master, go on, and I will follow thee To the last gasp with truth and loyalty.
In thy face I see the map of honour, truth and loyalty.
One that lies three thirds and uses a known truth to pass a thousand nothings with, should be once heard and thrice beaten.
Truth is truth to the end of reckoning.

But say, my lord, it were not regist'red, Methinks the truth should live from age to age, As 'twere retailed to all posterity, Even to the general all-ending day.
What, can the devil speak true?
Truth needs no color; beauty, no pencil.
