Famous quotes containing the words full, length and/or version:
“People who give us their full confidence believe that they have thereby earned a right to ours. This is a fallacy; one does not acquire rights through gifts.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.”
—Bible: Hebrew Job, 12:12.
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
