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.”

“God grant that men of principle shall be our principal men.”

“Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

“There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.”

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

“Do not rush to judge someone unless his/her fruits reveal the truth. However, don't forget; mostly, it's not the fault of the tree to produce bitter fruits. Sometimes, the soil determines that; blame the source! Deal with the soil! Don't deal with the tree! Other trees are there that the same soil can influence! Don't deal with your enemy, deal with the satan that sponsors them!”

“No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.”

“There can be many opinions on a thing, but there is only one truth.”

“There are a dozen views about everything until you know the answer. Then there's never more than one.”

“We tilt our heads back and open wide. The snow drifts into our zombie mouths crawling with grease and curses and tobacco flakes and cavities and boyfriend/girlfriend juice, the stain of lies. For one moment we are not failed tests and broken condoms and cheating on essays; we are crayons and lunch boxes and swinging so high our sneakers punch holes in the clouds. For one breath everything feels better.”
