13 Bryant McGill Quotes on Truth

Bryant McGill quotes on truth

23. Understanding: 'Do not allow the adumbrations of Aristotelian logic to prevent you from seeing a vast spectrum of truths; the post-Boolean continuum of shades of grey where we spend most of our lives.'

27. Knowledge: 'True meaning is an apparition. Life is complex and full of illusions. Absolute understanding in this life is unattainable, and time without profound change is inescapable. Yet, we are all still compelled, like the moth to the flame, to attain that which is beyond our reach, and this we must do.'

41. Intention: 'A single lie can forever destroy your reputation, a single truth the reputation of another. Not all truths should be spoken, not all lies reviled. Intention is often more important than truth, for truth is regularly a device of choice by those of ill intent.'

56. Intelligence: 'An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things.'

58. Justice: 'Be willing to give all, even to your own physical demise, in order to protect truth from injustice. Be eager to pay any price, so long as it is your own stand for that which you are committed to by truth and honor; this is the price freedom.'

88. Education: 'One of the most important things one can do in life is to brutally question every single thing you are taught.'

90. Education: 'Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.'

107. Truth: 'There is little more powerful than when truth joins action.'

112. Truth: 'Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.'

113. Deception: 'Truth is often the favorite tool of those who deceive.'

121. Honesty: 'Honestly appraise your defects, and diligently seek to minimize them. Self examination often only reveals that we cannot honestly examine ourselves. Be honest, and know yourself! But what good is knowing if you attempt to do nothing with the knowledge?'

128. Belief: 'Few things are so firmly believed as those we can least disprove. All men desire knowledge, but many only believe what they desire. Deep-rooted beliefs are one of the many consequences of intellect, and also of ignorance; and telling one from the other is sometimes impossible.'

129. Knowledge: 'The terrain of our knowledge is scattered with assumptions like precarious, narrow, towering-peaks and mysteries like abysmal rifts. And as is in nature, these mountains and valleys of enlightenment and ignorance are leveled with time.'
