The truth is a matter of perspective.
I am a commoner. I have seen the world. “ When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in confederacy against him.” “ I cannot but conclude the bulk of mankind to be in a state of perpetual childhood.” “ I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.” “ I cannot but conclude the bulk of mankind to be a race of cowards.” “ The truth is, I am a great admirer of the truth.” “ There is nothing so absurd that it cannot be believed as truth.” “ I am a great admirer of the truth.” “ I have been a great traveller.” “ The greatest part of mankind are cowards.” “ The most useful is the most despised.” I have been a stranger. The greatest monarch on earth. “ I have always been of the opinion that a man should never be ashamed to admit he is wrong.” “ The greatest monarch on earth is but a man.” “ I cannot be the only one who has been deceived.” |
