Quote by George Berkeley

Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.

Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.

Summary

This quote suggests that although everyone claims to seek and value truth, only a select few are truly committed to it. Many people may talk about truth, demand it, or proclaim they possess it, but when it comes to actually living by it, only a small number of individuals are engaged in the pursuit of absolute honesty and authenticity. It highlights the discrepancy between the idealized desire for truth and the practical effort required to uncover and embrace it, revealing that for most people, truth becomes more of a game or a tool rather than an unwavering principle to live by.
