True Belief

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or belief:

“But true love is a durable fire
In the mind ever burning;
Never sick, never old, never dead,
From itself never turning.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
