Franklin D. Roosevelt quote: "Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth."
Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth. Franklin D. Roosevelt
A scholar's business is to add to what is known. That is all. But it is capable of giving the very greatest satisfaction, because knowledge is good. It does not have to look good or even sound good or even do good. It is good just by being knowledge. And the only thing that makes it knowledge is that it is true. You can't have too much of it and there is no little too little to be worth having. There is truth and falsehood in a comma. Tom Stoppard
It occurs to me to wonder: do I believe in any god, or even positively not believe, as James does? I believe in systems and methods. I believe in the beauties of philosophy and poetry. I believe that the work we do and leave behind us is our afterlife; and I believe that history lies, but sometimes so well that I can't bring myself to resent it. I believe that truth is beauty, but not, I'm afraid, the reverse. It doesn't seem sufficient to sustain one in life's rigorous moments. Perhaps I... Emma Bull
Michel Foucault quote: "Death left its old tragic heaven and became the lyrical core..."
Death left its old tragic heaven and became the lyrical core of man: his invisible truth, his visible secret. Michel Foucault
The plain working truth is that it is not only good for people to be shocked occasionally, but absolutely necessary to the progress of society that they should be shocked pretty often. George Bernard Shaw
Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable, but her story and mine are different now. It wasn't easy for me to accept this simple truth, because there was a time when our stories were the same, but that was six years and two lifetimes ago. Nicholas Sparks
Albert Einstein quote: "Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth"
Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth Albert Einstein
There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness. When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence. Sri Aurobindo
But it is possible, it is possible: the old grief, by a great mystery of human life, gradually passes into quiet, tender joy; instead of young, ebullient blood comes a mild, serene old age: I bless the sun's rising each day and my heart sings to it as before, but now I love its setting even more, its long slanting rays, and with them quiet, mild, tender memories, dear images from the whole of a long and blessed life--and over all is God's truth, moving, reconciling, all-forgiving! Fyodor Dostoevsky
Samuel Johnson quote: "Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every..."
Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Samuel Johnson
I have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth -- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings that "except the Lord build they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no... Benjamin Franklin
Denis Diderot quote: "Whether God exists or does not exist, He has come to rank..."
Whether God exists or does not exist, He has come to rank among the most sublime and useless truths. Denis Diderot
Swami Vivekananda quote: "The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world,..."
The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence. Swami Vivekananda

They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies. Simone Weil
I don't believe in anything, Mother," I said. "You told Armand long ago that you believe you'll find answers in the great jungles and forests; that the stars will finally reveal a vast truth. But I don't believe in anything. And that makes me stronger than you think Anne Rice
