Famous quotes containing the words true and/or believer:

    “We commonly say that the rich man can speak the truth, can afford honesty, can afford independence of opinion and action;—and that is the theory of nobility. But it is the rich man in a true sense, that is to say, not the man of large income and large expenditure, but solely the man whose outlay is less than his income and is steadily kept so.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “One poem proves another and the whole,
    For the clairvoyant men that need no proof:
    The lover, the believer and the poet.
    Their words are chosen out of their desire,
    The joy of language, when it is themselves.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
