Sections (Content) :
• 1
...it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
• 2
They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.
• 3
The object of the superior man is truth. Food is not his object.... The superior man is anxious lest he should not get truth; he is not anxious lest poverty should come upon him.
• 4
If something is true, no amount of wishful thinking can undo it.
• 5
I speak badly. I only know how to speak the truth, and that's not always welcome.
• 6
The true, the good, and the beautiful have their rights. One may argue with them, but in the end one admires them.
• 7
An eminently moral activity is the labor of the scholar, that drives him over ocean and deserts to face danger and privation, and to suffer and die in search of truth. Yet we call all these actions virtue and morality, because they have a collective or social value, which proves the correctness of our definition of morality.
• 8
Conservatism stands on man's confessed limitations; reform on his indisputable infinitude; conservatism on circumstance; liberalism on power; one goes to make an adroit member of the social frame; the other to postpone all things to the man himself; conservatism is debonnair and social; reform is individual and imperious. We are reformers in spring and summer; in autumn and winter, we stand by the old; reformers in the morning, conservers at night. Reform is affirmative, conservatism negative; conservatism goes for comfort, reform for truth.
• 9
...it is surely better to strive for a complete understanding than to despair of the human mind.
• 10
...we can die in knowledge of the truth or else escape.
• 11
Let us thank every good and noble man who stood so grandly, so proudly, in spite of opposition, of hatred and death, for what he believed to be the truth.
• 12
Nothing is greater, nothing is of more importance, than to find amid the errors and darkness of this life, a shining truth.
• 13
...there is no other way of guarding oneself from flatterers except letting men understand that to tell you the truth does not offend you.
• 14
Truth could be crucified; but soon, perhaps, a resurrection.
• 15
...it consequently becomes of the first and highest importance that man should be taught to distinguish truth from error.
• 16
...a man is not to be reverenced more than the truth...
• 17
If you let a single ray of light through the shutter, it will go on diffusing itself without limit till it enlighten the world; but the shadow that was never so wide at first, as rapidly contracts till it comes to naught.
• 18
Free your minds from those overgrown, mountainous imbecilities which hinder your recognition of it, and at once the truth will emerge from amid the pseudo-religious nonsense that has been smothering it: the indubitable, eternal truth inherent in man, which is one and the same in all the great religions of the world. It will in due time emerge and make its way to general recognition, and the nonsense that has obscured it will disappear of itself, and with it will go the evil from which humanity now suffers.
