"Beauty is the brilliance of truth...." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?”

“We both exist and know that we exist, and rejoice in this knowledge.”

“Truth is not private property.”

“Truth, like light is dazzling. By contrast, untruth is a beautiful sunset that enhances everything.”

“Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.”

“Once in those very early days my brother brought into the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden or a toy forest. That was the first beauty I ever knew. What the real garden had failed to do, the toy garden did. It made me aware of nature-not, indeed, as a storehouse of forms and colors but as something cool, dewy, fresh, exuberant....As long as I live my imagination of Paradise will retain something of my brother's toy garden.”

“Many a truth is told in jest.”

“A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts.”

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.”
