True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

    It was as true as taxes is. And nothing’s truer than them.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    I respect not his labors, his farm where everything has its price, who would carry the landscape, who would carry his God, to market, if he could get anything for him; who goes to market for his god as it is; on whose farm nothing grows free, whose fields bear no crops, whose meadows no flowers, whose trees no fruit, but dollars; who loves not the beauty of his fruits, whose fruits are not ripe for him till they are turned to dollars. Give me the poverty that enjoys true wealth.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The fifth day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Five gold rings,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 19–21)
