Famous quotes containing the words truth and/or spoke:
“What should I say,
Since faith is dead,
And truth away
From you is fled?
Should I be led
With doubleness?”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
“Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion; men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit; few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
