Perfect Truth

Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or truth:

“By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“The truth is not simply what you think it is; it is also the circumstances in which it is said, and to whom, why, and how it is said.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
