Famous quotes containing the word truth:
“Mind and spirit together make up that which separates us from the rest of the animal world, that which enables a man to know the truth and that which enables him to die for the truth.”
—Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)
“Public opinion contains all kinds of falsity and truth, but it takes a great man to find the truth in it. The great man of the age is the one who can put into words the will of his age, tell his age what its will is, and accomplish it. What he does is the heart and the essence of his age, he actualizes his age. The man who lacks sense enough to despise public opinion expressed in gossip will never do anything great.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“However greatly we distrust the sincerity of those we converse with, yet still we think they tell more truth to us than to anyone else.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
