John Baillie Theologian

John Baillie Theologian

Speak Thou in my words today, think in my thoughts, and work in all my deeds.

John Baillie Theologian

Have I today done anything to fulfill the purpose for which Thou didst cause me to be born?

John Baillie Theologian

The all-round liberally educated man, from Palaeolithic times to the time when the earth shall become a cold cinder, will always be the same, namely, the man who follows his standards of truth and beauty, who employs his learning and observation, his reason, his expression, for purposes of production, that is, to add something of his own to the stock of the world's ideas.

Henry Fairfield Osborn Geologist

Because we have for millenia made moral, aesthetic, religious demands on the world, looked upon it with blind desire, passion or fear, and abandoned ourselves to the bad habits of illogical thinking, this world has gradually become so marvelously variegated, frightful, meaningful, soulful, it has acquired color - but we have been the colorists: it is the human intellect that has made appearances appear and transported its erroneous basic conceptions into things.

Friedrich Nietzsche Philologist

It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist

The truth properly means the sum of all true propositions, what omniscience would assert, the whole ideal system of qualities andrelations which the world has exemplified or will exemplify. The truth is all things seen under the form of eternity.

George Santayana Philosopher

Though all the winds of doctrine were let loose to play upon the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously by licensing and prohibiting to misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter.

John Milton Poet

We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.

Denis Diderot Philosopher
