GEMS OF THOUGHT
TRUTH. General abstract truth is the most precious of all blessings; without it man is blind; it is the eye of reason.— Rousseau.
Truth is the bond of union and the basis of human happiness. Without this virtue there is no reliance upon language, no confidence in friendship, no security in promises, and oaths. —Jeremy Collier.
Fair Truths’ immortal sun Is sometimes hid in clouds; not that her light Is in itself defective, but obscured By my weak prejudice, imperfect faith, And all the thousand causes which obstruct The growth of goodness. —Hannah Moro. After all the most natural beauty in 'the world is honesty and moral truth; for all beauty is truth.—Shaftesbury. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which seemeth to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evi-dent absurdity—namely. erroneous truth.—Mary Baker Eddy.
