Knowing something may be a terrible burden to bear, but it holds no danger to them as aren't afraid of truth.

Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on I am not too sure.

H. L. Mencken

Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism.

George Orwell

I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.

Melanie Brown

There's one thing you can say for air pollution, you get utterly amazing sunrises.

Terry Pratchett

There are three sides to every story: your side, my side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each differently.

Robert Evans

Time advances: facts accumulate; doubts arise. Faint glimpses of truth begin to appear, and shine more and more unto the perfect day. The highest intellects, like the tops of mountains, are the first to catch and to reflect the dawn. They are bright, while the level below is still in darkness. But soon the light, which at first illuminated only the loftiest eminences, descends on the plain, and penetrates to the deepest valley. First come hints, then fragments of systems, then defective systems, then complete and harmonious systems. The sound opinion, held for a time by one bold speculator, becomes the opinion of a small minority, of a strong minority, of a majority of mankind. Thus, the great progress goes on.

Thomas Babington Macaulay

In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always.

Walter Savage Landor

I don't know of a single foreign product that enters this country untaxed, except the answer to prayer.

Mark Twain

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained in sudden flight but, they while their companions slept, they were toiling upwards in the night.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.

Sinclair Lewis
