No human being will ever know the Truth for even if they happen to say it by chance they would not even known they had done so.

Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe having surveyed a few boxes full of letters diaries bank statements and photographs that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.

The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.

I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons because it is his endeavour to seek the truth in all things to the extent permitted to human reason by God.

Seldom very seldom does complete truth belong to any human disclosure seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised or a little mistaken.

The essence of humanity's spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma to resolve the contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?

Nothing is more noble nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.

There are very few human beings who receive the truth complete and staggering by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment on a small scale by successive developments cellularly like a laborious mosaic.

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative since nothing not even the truth must come between it and the beloved person.

My disposition as a human being is kind of a go-along-to-get-along person. I tend to trust authority.

And I believe that public broadcasting has an important trust with the American people it's an intimate medium of television and that we can do reading and language development for young children without getting into human sexuality.

I trust the time is coming when the occupation of an instructor to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment.

The first sentence of every novel should be: Trust me this will take time but there is order here very faint very human. Meander if you want to get to town.

More and more political analysts and weak-kneed politicians are advising the historically pro-life Republican Party to abandon its pro-life stance for political gain. My first response is that if you cannot trust a party on the value of defending human life how can you trust it on issues like marginal tax rates?

Denial exists because human infants though equipped with trust-o-meters are built to trust blindly and absolutely any older person who wanders past.

I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again.

But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.

Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200 000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people and doing physical things.

People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains new stars garish birds freak fish grotesque breeds of human they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something.

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well semi-normal.

Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world but as animals they inhabit time.

I'm thankful for my songs being at the top of the charts but I am human - I think people still have to remember that.

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Adolescence is a new birth for the higher and more completely human traits are now born.
