Finding Truth

“

Go, Soul, the body’s quest,
Upon a thankless arrant:
Fear not to touch the best,
The truth shall be thy warrant:
Go, since I needs must die,
And give the world the lie.

Sir Walter Ralegh

“

Therefore the sight that is granted to your world penetrates within the Eternal Justice as the eye into the sea; for though from the shore it sees the bottom, in the open sea it does not, and yet the bottom is there but the depth conceals it.

Dante Alighieri

“

And seek for truth in the groves of Academe.

Horace

“

Time’s glory is to calm contending kings,
To unmask falsehood and bring truth to light.

William Shakespeare

“

Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love.

William Shakespeare

“

We are now suffering the evils of a long peace. Luxury, more deadly than war, broods over the city, and avenges a conquered world.

Juvenal

“

Dead men tell no tales.

John Dryden
