Truth Quote by Samuel Johnson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.”

“He that reads and grows no wiser seldom suspects his own deficiency, but complains of hard words and obscure sentences, and asks why books are written which cannot be understood.”

“Perhaps the excellence of aphorisms consists not so much in the expression of some rare or abstruse sentiment, as in the comprehension of some obvious and useful truth in a few words.”

“Memory is the mother of all wisdom.”

“Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth.”

“That we must all die, we always knew; I wish I had remembered it sooner.”

“Tolerance! The virtue that makes one bite his tongue so that he can tear out his hair.”

“A compliment about one’s nature is more important because a person has to choose how to behave, whilst a compliment about one’s appearance doesn’t mean overly much because there is no choice involved there.”

“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.”

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

“We must all work in harmony with each other to stand up for what is right, to speak up for what is fair, and to always voice any corrections so that the ignorant become informed and justice is never ignored. Every time a person allows an act of ignorance to happen, they delay our progress for true change. Every person, molecule and thing matters. We become responsible for the actions of others the instant we become conscious of what they are doing wrong and fail to remind them of what is right.”

“Like all dreamers I confuse disenchantment with truth.”
