Truth

The significant thing about a scientist is this: he simply expects the truth to prevail because it is the truth. He doesn’t work very much on the reactions of the heart. In science, the thing is, and its being so is something one cannot resent. If a thing is wrong, nothing can save it, and if it is right, it cannot help succeeding.

--Henry Eyring, Reflections of a Scientist (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1983), 7


...Truth is calculated to sustain itself; it is based upon eternal facts and will endure, while all else will sooner or later perish.

--Brigham Young, JD 14:115
