Quote

He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.

When men do not have healthy notions of the Divinity, false ideas supplant them, just as in bad times one uses counterfeit money when there is no good money.

Man's mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth.

Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.

A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.

The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning; he is poor who though he has millions is covetous.

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
