When a philosopher says something that is true then it is trivial. When he says something that is not trivial then it is false.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Good sense about trivialities is better than nonsense about things that matter.
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
Words are not trivial. They matter because they raise consciousness.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Truth is the object of philosophy, but not always of philosophers.
Facts, according to my ideas, are merely the elements of truths, and not the truths themselves; of all matters there are none so utterly useless by themselves as your mere matters of fact.
The words of truth are simple.
Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
There is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language.
There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.
