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)

“Error is to truth as sleep is to waking. I have observed that one turns, as if refreshed, from error back to truth.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
