Quotes for: truth
To be able to discern what is true as true and what is false as false — this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Truth prevails only to the extent that we successfully assert it. The victory of reason can only be the victory of rational people.
Quotes about light:
What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.
Quotes about lie:
The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces, but which all experience refutes.
The first and fundamental resistance is that of the spirit. It means resisting the intimidation of any lie asserted as truth, the contagion of any collective intoxication.
