Truth Quote by Thomas Jefferson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”

“But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.”

“Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty.”

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”

“Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do.”

“Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.”

“This is the basis, and I am not being tried for whether I am a Communist, I am being tried for fighting for the right of my people, who are still second-class citizens in this United States of America”

“Lies don't end relationships the truth does.”

“She realized all at once that Doon, thin, dark eyed Doon, with his troublesome temper and his terrible brown jacket, and his good heart---- was the person she knew better than anyone now. He was her best friend.”

“Am crezut întotdeauna că nu poți vorbi despre lucrurile care spun ceva cu adevărat despre tine. Nu față-n față cu celălalt. De-asta scriu în loc să vorbesc. Când ești față-n față, ochi în ochi cu aproapele tău... abia atunci simți zidul de nestrăbătut dintre mințile voastre („cum arată albastrul tău?”, „cum pot simți durerea ta de măsele?”). De asta oamenii și-au spus lucrurile importante prin cărți, căci orice carte presupune o absență, dintr-o parte sau din cealaltă: când e scrisă, lipsește cititorul. Când e citită, lipsește scriitorul. Dispar astfel greața și abjecția de-a pune față-n față judecătorul și condamnatul.”

“One of the plainest truths about both towns and individuals is that they usually don't turn into what we tell them to be, but what they are told they are.”
