Death is delightful. Death is dawn, The waking from a weary night Of fevers unto truth and light.

Truth, after all, wears a different face to everybody, and it would be too tedious to wait till all were agreed.

The greatest homage we can pay to truth, is to use it.

Once to every person and nation come the moment to decide. In the conflict of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side.

Poetry is something to make us wiser and better, by continually revealing those types of beauty and truth, which God has set in all men’s souls.

Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.

Light is the symbol of truth.
