True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

    It is a relief to read some true book, wherein all are equally dead,—equally alive. I think the best parts of Shakespeare would only be enhanced by the most thrilling and affecting events. I have found it so. And so much the more, as they are not intended for consolation.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    A true politeness does not result from any hasty and artificial polishing, it is true, but grows naturally in characters of the right grain and quality, through a long fronting of men and events, and rubbing on good and bad fortune.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
