Famous quotes containing the words standard, consists and/or solely:
“Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind’s faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which seemeth to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity—namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
“The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“Honor’s thought
Reigns solely in the breast of every man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
