It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is hard to put aside partisanship. It is hard to give up the easy wisecracking jeer that divides and destroys. It is hard - very hard - to have worked sincerely and wholeheartedly for a cause and to have lost. Most of all, it is hard to put aside personal prejudices. And yet we must put these things aside.
May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
The loudest voices we hear are those who advocate conflict, divisiveness.
The idea that there is a rational truth out there that is not embodied in a person's politics is something I can't understand or subscribe to.
There are moments when very little truth would be enough to shape opinion. One might be hated at extremely low cost.
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
There is something wonderful in seeing a wrong-headed majority assailed by truth.
IT is difficult to speak or write with becoming moderation or propriety, on topics to which we are biased by prejudice, interest, or even principle.
Reflecting the truth sounds easy, but sometimes it's not.
Truth engenders hatred of truth. As soon as it appears, it is the enemy.
