True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

“Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as “spectacles” to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions.... The learned are mere literary drudges.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

“All true enough: and true as well that she
Was beautiful, and danced, and is now dead.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“From Rumor’s tongues
They bring smooth comforts false, worse than true wrongs.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
