Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men's movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable.

A very great matter is at stake when the true and truly holy divinity is commended to men as that which they ought to seek after and to worship; not, however, on account of the transitory vapor of mortal life, but on account of life eternal, which alone is blessed.

You can live, provided you live; that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.

One man with truth on his side is stronger than a majority in error, and will conquer in the end.

Like a lawyer, the human brain wants victory, not truth; and, like a lawyer, it is sometimes more admirable for skill than virtue.

The right to search for truth implies also a duty.

Hard are the ways of truth, and rough to walk.

Neither when we have chosen our way can we keep company with those who go the other way. There must come with the decision for truth a corresponding protest against error.

The soul is unwillingly deprived of truth.

Vitam impendere vero. To stake one's life for the truth.

I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.

To avoid being drawn into error, keep a firm grip on the truth.
