Anton Wilhelm Amo Quotes

I’m starting to understand how little purchase the truth actually affords us in this world.

Truth means that which actually is, as opposed to lies, incorrect beliefs, fantasies or foolishness, and exists independently of thinkers.

Every gaudy color
Is a bit of truth.

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —

The rabble has been the same in all ages. Materialism has been, and will ever be blind to spiritual truths.

You touch on a disheartening truth. People never want to be told anything they do not believe already.

Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers.

A man protesting against error is on the way to uniting himself with all men who believe in truth.

You must be ever vigilant to discover the unifying Truth behind all the scintillating variety.

Science leads to great achievements, which, quite rightly, fill of joy those who seek the truth, but if pursued, teaches us that we must seek other sources of ultimate truth and find answers to existential questions about the meaning of life and the mystery of death.
