Science is not, despite how it is often portrayed, about absolute truths. It is about developing an understanding of the world, making predictions, and then testing these predictions.
Brian Schmidt
Even if I stumble on to the absolute truth of any aspect of the universe, I will not realise my luck and instead will spend my life trying to find flaws in this understanding - such is the role of a scientist.
The absolute truth is the thing that makes people laugh.
Carl Reiner
The teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed him. We are content with less than absolute truth.
Charles Lamb
Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.
Charles Stanley
Once you embrace the absolute truth that every leader needs a mentor, you can begin to achieve the massive growth and success that you seek.
Clay Clark
Football is wonderful because no one is right: there's no absolute truth.
Diego Simeone
In our development, as we grow throughout our lives, the structure of our beliefs becomes very complicated, and we make it even more complicated because we make the assumption that what we believe is the absolute truth.
Don Miguel Ruiz
Science makes no pretension to eternal truth or absolute truth.
E. T. Bell
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
Love is what makes the world go around. I know it's a big cliche to use, but it is the absolute truth. There is nothing else like it. I know that is what everybody is striving to feel: in relationships, in brother- and sisterhood, and in all of the things that we aspire to have in our lives.
Gladys Knight

Hunter S. Thompson

Jocelyn Bell Burnell
We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.
Kenneth R. Miller
I don't think you should write a book until you tell the absolute truth. You can't do that until you're 85, and I don't want to live that long. I've always prided myself on knowing when to get off, and I hope it works out that way.
Lucille Ball

The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions.
Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.
It is of no help to us that there is an absolute truth of the matter of things because unfortunately, none of us are in a position to say definitively what that is - although we all think that we are.
It's terribly important that you can criticise people's ideas without criticising them, and if they burst into tears, it means that you tend to hold back from getting at the absolute truth.
