"Truth is neither alive nor dead; it..." - Quote by Mark Twain
Truth is neither alive nor dead; it just aggravates itself all the time.

“Our consciences take no notice of pain inflicted on others until it reaches a point where it gives pain to us.”
“The future interests me - I'm going to spend the rest of my life there.”
“Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal... In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which the other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately.”

“Truth, Goodness, Beauty - those celestial thrins,Continually are born; e'en now the Universe,With thousand throats, and eke with greener smiles,Its joy confesses at their recent birth.”
“The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.”
“Concentrate on the Essence, concentrate on the Light.”
More on Persistence
“The same strength of character which helps a man resist love, helps to make it more violent and lasting too. People of unsettled minds are always driven about with passions, but never absolutely filled with any.”
“I intend to live forever, or die trying.”
“I believe that persistent effort, supported by a character-based foundation, will enable you to get more of the things money will buy and all of the things money won't buy.”
