He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.
Man can embody truth but he cannot know it.
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
Man's mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth.
Someone who always has to lie discovers that every one of his lies is true.
So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.
He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted.
He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.
He who knows all things and believes nothing is damned.
He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.
