~ Some mathematician has said pleasure lies not in discovering truth, but in seeking it. ~ ~ Pleasure is continually disappointed, reduced, deflated, in favor of strong, noble values: Truth, Death, Progress, Struggle, Joy, etc. Its victorious rival is Desire: we are always being told about Desire, never about Pleasure. ~ ~ The duty of criticism is neither to depreciate nor dignify by partial representations, but to hold out the light of reason, whatever it may discover; and to promulgate the determinations of truth, whatever she shall dictate ~ ~ There is one thing even more vital to science than intelligent methods; and that is, the sincere desire to find out the truth, whatever it may be. ~ ~ Truth knows no color; it appeals to intelligence. ~ ~ This administration misled a nation into war by cherry-picking intelligence and stretching the truth beyond recognition. ~ ~ Bad science and bad religion simply swap roles, the former proclaiming Truth, the latter worshiping Doubt ~ ~ If the freedom of religion, guaranteed to us by law in theory, can ever rise in practice under the overbearing inquisition of public opinion, then and only then will truth, prevail over fanaticism ~ ~ When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth. ~ ~ Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth ~ ~ It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real they are bruised and wounded. ~ ~ The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it ~ ~ A man with a grain of faith in God never loses hope, because he ever believes in the ultimate triumph of Truth ~ ~ Exercise of faith will be the safest where there is a clear determination summarily to reject all that is contrary to truth and love ~ ~ All faiths constitute a revelation of Truth, but all are imperfect and liable to error ~ ~ Genius, in truth, means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way ~ ~ Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it. ~ ~ The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. ~ ~ Adversity is the first path to truth. ~ ~ To get rich never risk your health. For it is the truth that health is the wealth of wealth. ~ ~ Women love the lie that saves their pride, but never an unflattering truth ~ ~ What is a vow,
but an intention
spoken out before the world
so that the world, in hearing,
might take part
in aspirations
of the willing heart?
In our coming here today
to join and bless
the joy of your becoming wed,
may we enter in
the truth of the words you've said,
"I do." ~ ~ Prayer is the spirit speaking truth to Truth. ~ ~ As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth. ~ ~ The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. ~ ~ Infinite diversity in infinite combinations... symbolizing the elements that create truth and beauty. ~ ~ Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most times he will pick himself up and carry on. ~ ~ If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth. ~ ~ Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold. ~ ~ Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. ~ |
