Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    Live and let live, believe and let believe.
    ‘Twas said the lesser gods were only traits
    Of the one awful God. Just so the saints
    Are God’s white light refracted into colors.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    On a huge hill,
    Cragged, and steep, Truth stands, and he that will
    Reach her, about must, and about must go;
    And what the hill’s suddenness resists, win so;
    Yet strive so, that before age, death’s twilight,
    Thy Soul rest, for none can work in that night.
    To will, implies delay, therefore now do:
    Hard deeds, the body’s pains; hard knowledge too
    The mind’s endeavours reach, and mysteries
    Are like the Sun, dazzling, yet plain to all eyes.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
