Thy light alone like mist o'er mountains driven, Or music by the night-wind sent Through strings of some still instrument, Or moonlight on a midnight stream, Gives grace and truth to life's unquiet dream.

The love of truth lies at the root of much humor.

Robertson Davies

Erykah Badu

We have an incapacity of proof, insurmountable by all dogmatism. We have an idea of truth, invincible to all skepticism.

Blaise Pascal

Mystical explanations are considered deep. The truth is that they are not even superficial.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I've got to have a place where I can find peace of mind.

Alexander Pope

Idleness is the heaviest of all oppressions.

Victor Hugo

In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

Graham Greene

Vance Havner

This is what I see, and what troubles me. I look on all sides, and everywhere I see nothing but obscurity. Nature offers me nothing that is not a matter of doubt and disquiet.

Blaise Pascal

When a man takes an oath...,he's holding his ownself in his own hands. Like water. And if he opens his fingers then- he needn't hope to find himself again.

Robert Bolt

The loss of a friend is like that of a limb time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.

Robert Southey
