Vacuously True Statements

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or statements:

“Beshrew me but I love her heartily,
For she is wise, if I can judge of her,
And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true,
And true she is, as she hath proved herself;
And therefore, like herself, wise, fair, and true,
Shall she be placed in my constant soul.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
