It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world; and as bound to use earthly blessings, not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness, but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities. - Johann Arndt That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine. - Jane Austen Every true faith is infallible. It performs what the believing person hopes to find in it. But it does not offer the least support for the establishing of an objective truth. Here the ways of men divide. If you want to achieve peace of mind and happiness, have faith. If you want to be a disciple of truth, then search. - Friedrich Nietzsche Adam Levine and I remade the Rolling Stones' classic Wild Horses, and it is right up my alley, that whole style. It has a style of its own but still stays very true to the classic arrangement, and I love it. - Alicia Keys It has been said that id...

Everyday was another day spent waiting. Every night was another night when she might meet someone who would recognize her true worth. - Paulo Coelho The true worth of an experimenter consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks in his experiment, but also what he did not seek. - Claude Bernard The true worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood. - Mary Mcleod Bethune The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others. - Albert Schweitzer It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth. - Albert Schweitzer Anyone can make a mistake.... It's how they learn from it and recover from it that shows their true worth. - John Flanagan Winning or losing an argument, receiving an acceptance or rejection, is no proof of the validity or value of personal identity. One may be wrong, mistaken, or a poor craft...

It's rather hard to decide just when people are grown up,' laughed Anne. 'That's a true word, dearie. Some are grown up when they're born, and others ain't grown up when they're eighty, believe me. That same Mrs. Roderick I was speaking of never grew up. She was as foolish when she was hundred as when she was ten.' 'Perhaps that was why she lived so long,' suggested Anne. - L M Montgomery Many a true word hath been spoken in jest. - William Shakespeare I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth. - David Levithan He watched their faces, and he knew each meant desperately what she said because they loved each other, and deep inside surely each knew the words were false, that the true words were those unspoken. - Mar...

Real beauty is to be true to oneself. That's what makes me feel good. - Laetitia Casta In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day. - Jean Rostand

Anyone not paranoid in this world must be crazy.... Speaking of paranoia, it's true that I do not know exactly who my enemies are. But that of course is exactly why I'm paranoid. - Edward Abbey It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream--a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought--a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities! - Mark Twain It is true that the sky was always beautiful but I don't remember marvelling at sunset or gazing at the dawn of a new day. Survival does not allow time for poetic reflection. - Izzeldin Abuelaish Yes, it is true that sometimes unusually intelligent and sensitive children can appear to be stupid. But stupid children can sometimes appear to be stupid as well. I think that's something you might have to consider. - Douglas Adams IT'S ...

But is all this true?" said Brutha. Didactylos shrugged. "Could be. Could be. We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork." "You mean you don't KNOW it's true?" said Brutha. "I THINK it might be," said Didactylos. "I could be wrong. Not being certain is what being a philosopher is all about. - Terry Pratchett Not altogether a fool," said G., "but then he's a poet, which I take to be only one remove from a fool." "True," said Dupin, after a long and thoughtful whiff from his meerschaum, "although I have been guilty of certain doggerel myself. - Edgar Allan Poe ;now that one was mature then, said Peter, one could watch, one could understand, and one did not lose the power of feeling, he said. No, that is true, said Sally. She felt more deeply, more passionately, every year. It increased, he said, alas, perhaps, but one should be glad of it-- it went on in...

The inspired Scriptures make the clear distinction between false and true riches and make plain the reason why happiness is gained and fully enjoyed only by those who find true riches. - Joseph Franklin Rutherford

It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral. - Francis Bacon The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech. - Richard M Nixon To an intellectual who is adrift in politics, a theory is an aim; to a true politician his theory is a boundary. - Francis Parker Yockey

And we learned that you don't have to be famous or rich or physically healthy to be a leader. You just have to try to be a true person. We learned that helping other people brings out the good in everybody. - Joan Bauer To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task. - Cyril Cusack Wong Kar Wai is a very intense character, very personable, and I believe in general he does not like and he would not want his actors to show their true looks and their true personality on screen. - Andy Lau Perhaps that is our doom, our human curse, to never really know one another. We erect edifices in our minds about the flimsy framework of word and deed, mere totems of the true person, who, like the gods to whom the temples were built, remains hidden. We understand our own construct; we know our own theory; we love our own fabrication. Still... does the artifice of our affection make our love any less real? - Rick Yancey

The basic principles of logic dictate that a statement cannot be both true and false at the same time... and that a statement must be either true or false... Lucy is lying, or she is crazy, or she is telling the truth. She can't be some combination, and she can't be none of those things... The laws of logic dictate that she must be one of them... Notice how practical common sense about the suposed impossibility of other worlds doesn't come into the equation. - Sarah Arthur Sentences are not as such either true or false. - J L Austin Letters couldn't care less whether what is written with them is true or false. - Augusto Roa Bastos Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, "Is life a multiple choice test or is it a true or false test?"...Then a voice comes to me out of the dark and says, "We hate to tell you this but life is a thousand word essay. - Charles M Schulz It's irrelevant whether what one says is true or false: both will be contradicted....

We believe in the dignity of every life, the possibility of every mind, the divinity of every soul. This is our true North. - Elizabeth Dole He wouldn't have to search for her long. She was nestled in his thoughts like a pebble in his shoe. His mind pointed toward her as if she were true north. - India Drummond Nora was the only thing that made sense. She was the only unchanging thing in my universe. She was my lodestar. No matter which way my emotions and circumstances and the impulses of my dead, dying, trying body pulled me, no matter how many mistakes I made, she was always true north. Sometimes I'd side with the dead, sometimes with the living, but always with her. - Lia Habel Every day I wonder how many things I am dead wrong about. -- True North - Jim Harrison Well, I'm Canadian. True, north, strong, and free. - Barry Pepper

...the person who loves everybody and feels at home everywhere is the true hater of mankind. He expects nothing of men, so no form of depravity can outrage him. - Ayn Rand I mean the one that claims the pig is the symbol of love for humanity--the creature that accepts anything. As a matter of fact, the person who loves everybody and feels at home everywhere is the true hater of mankind. He expects nothing of men, so no form of depravity can outrage him. - Ayn Rand

Sticking with a marriage. That's true grit, man. - Jeff Bridges But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that. - Hunter S Thompson Last year, when 'Black Swan,' 'True Grit' and 'King's Speech' all grossed over $100 million, it gave studios and independent financiers the confidence to make daring movies and not do the same old you-know-what. - Harvey Weinstein

A gust of wind snatched at her hat. She jumped from the wall and her skirts blew everywhere. I couldn't avoid glimpsing more than she intended, and I feared that she might have been embarrassed. Instead she laughed and said, "You're seeing my true colors," and I was the one who blushed. - Frank Delaney Then the great hour struck, and every man showed himself in his true colors. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky He wants money for nothing, without waiting or working! We've grown used to having everything ready made, to walking on crutches, to having our food chewed for us. Then the great hour struck, and every man showed himself in his true colors. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colors would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age. - Wyndham Lewis A lot of the American press at the time was saying 'just watch what happens when Bertelsmann tries to buy EMI, that will be a moment of t...

I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion. - Gerry Cooney True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts. - Mia Hamm People know I was the last true champion. - Lennox Lewis A true champion will fight through anything. - Floyd Mayweather Jr A true champion can adapt to anything. - Floyd Mayweather Jr

Santa is our culture's only mythic figure truly believed in by a large percentage of the population. It's a fact that most of the true believers are under eight years old, and that's a pity. - Chris Van Allsburg When you put your total faith in God, no matter what happens, to a person who's a true believer, if you die, you know you're going to heaven to be with God. - Jim Bakker The true believer is rewarded in every thing, even in affliction. - Abu Bakr It suddenly occurred to me that true believers in hard-driving jazzAlbert Ayler, Don Cherry, Cecil Taylorcould never become owners of cleaning shops in malls across from railroad stations. - Haruki Murakami Well, any good comeback needs some true believers. - John Boehner It seemed there was always a close correlation between true believers and high body counts. - Dan Brown I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good. - Sandra Bullock Belief is a virus, and once it g...

The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false. - Fiona Apple The basic principles of logic dictate that a statement cannot be both true and false at the same time... and that a statement must be either true or false... Lucy is lying, or she is crazy, or she is telling the truth. She can't be some combination, and she can't be none of those things... The laws of logic dictate that she must be one of them... Notice how practical common sense about the suposed impossibility of other worlds doesn't come into the equation. - Sarah Arthur Was there little time between the invention of language and the coming of true and false? - Mason Cooley True and false fears let us refrain, Let us love nobly, and live, and add again Years and years unto years, till we attain To write threescore ; this is the second of our reign. - John Donne He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them; a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp ...

I'm overwhelmed with sadness for everything that was lost, and filled with anger toward the people who took it away. My people-or at least, my old people. I don't know who I am anymore, or where I belong. That's not totally true...I know I belong with Alex. - Lauren Oliver Near-death experiences release a lot of endorphins, resulting in a natural high," Tod whispered. "And it's totally true that one passion feeds another." "You know we're way past 'near-death', right?" "My endorphins aren't listening to you. - Rachel Vincent As I look back over fifty years of ministry, I recall innumerable tests, trials and times of crushing pain.

Too nice, and yet too true! - William Shakespeare I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail. - Lord Byron Southern California, where the American Dream came too true. - Lawrence Ferlinghetti There is more sense in your language, Bucklaw," replied the Master, "than might have been expected from your conduct - it is too true, our vices steal upon us in forms outwardly fair as those of the demons whom the superstitious represent as intriguing with the human race, and are not discovered in their native hideousness until we have clasped them in our arms. - Walter Scott You know Mildred would never do anything wrong or foolish. I reflected a little sadly that this was only too true and hoped I did not appear too much that kind of person to others. Virtue is an excellent thing and we should all strive after it, but it can sometimes be a little depr...

...when he looks at Beauty in the only way that Beauty can be seen - only then will it become possible for him to give birth not to images of virtue (because he's in touch with no images), but to true virtue [arete] (because he is in touch with true Beauty). The love of the gods belongs to anyone who has given to true virtue and nourished it, and if any human being could become immortal, it would be he. - Plato Falling into true love, is not taking a rope to climb out - Benny Bellamacina There is no form to this story because it is true, or at least as close to true as I have been able to make it. - Kevin Brockmeier No man has come to true greatness who has not felt that his life belongs to his race, and that which God gives to him, He gives him for mankind. - Phillips Brooks No one who has come to true greatness has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the people, and what God has given them he gives it for mankind. - Phillips Brooks Without access to true chaos,...
