True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

“They will visit you at your convenience, whether you are lonesome or not, on rainy days or fair. They propose themselves as either transient acquaintances or permanent friends.

Best of all, and not always true of our merely human friends, they have Cleopatra’s infinite variety.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)

“The true shepherd of his flock, the majesty of whose spiritual authority awed even the unscrupulous enemy.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“But this is a true saying among men: the gifts of enemies are no gifts and profitless.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
