"All this contains much that is obviously..." - Quote by Winston Churchill
All this contains much that is obviously true, and much that is relevant; unfortunately, what is obviously true is not relevant, and what is relevant is not obviously true.

More on Truth
“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, where knowledge is free. Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls. Where words come out from the depth of truth, where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection. Where the clear stream of reason has not lost it's way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit. Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action. In to that heaven of freedom, my father, LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE!”
“If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.”
“When a man talks from his heart, in his moment of truth, he speaks poetry.”
More on Wisdom
“The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.”
“Learn all you can, don't be lazy. Nothing's worse than being stupid. Being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. And what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. Nothing's much worse than that. Unless you're sick. Sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. Surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.”
“It is difficult to say what truth is, but sometimes it is so easy to recognize a falsehood.”
