If falsehood, like truth, had but one face, we would be more on equal terms. For we would consider the contrary of what the liar said to be certain. But the opposite of truth has a hundred thousand faces and an infinite field.

Michel de Montaigne  Famous Quote

The truth doesn't sell. It is high in supply, but little in demand.

Eric Schaub  Famous Quote

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.

John Milton  Famous Quote

Marcus Aurelius  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

Why did they devise censorship? To show a world which doesn’t exist, an ideal world, or what they envisaged as the ideal world. And we wanted to depict the world as it was.

Krzysztof Kieślowski  Famous Quote

Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coattails.

Clarence S. Darrow  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

Truth never tranquilizes. The defining property of truth is its ability to disturb. Jesus only told half the story. The truth 'will' set you free. But, first it's going to piss you off.

David Gerrold  Famous Quote

Truth: the most deadly weapon ever discovered by humanity. Capable of destroying entire perceptual sets, cultures, and realities. Outlawed by all governments everywhere. Possession is normally punishable by death.

John Gilmore  Famous Quote

Peter Levine  Famous Quote

It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.

Calvin Coolidge  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.

Frederick Douglass  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

It comes as news to most people to learn that practically all important ethical teachers -- Moses, Aristotle, Jesus, Mohammed, and Saint Thomas Aquinas, for instance -- have denounced lending at interest as usury and as morally wrong.

Lawrence Dennis  Famous Quote

Who ordained that a few should have the land of Britain as a perquisite; who made ten thousand people owners of the soil and the rest of us trespassers in the land of our birth?

David Lloyd George  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

Ann Gray  Famous Quote

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

Thorton Wilder  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

In the general course of human nature, A power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will.

Alexander Hamilton  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians.

Angelica Grimke  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they have resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress.

Frederick Douglass  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

Jamie Anderson  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

The Legislative has no Right to absolute arbitrary Power over the Lives and Fortunes of the People: Nor can Mortals assume a Prerogative not only too high for Men but for Angels, and therefore reserv’d for the Exercise of the Deity alone.

Samuel Adams  Famous Quote

added 1 year ago

... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people ... will hate the new world order ... and will die protesting it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.

H. G. Wells  Famous Quote
