Simple Speech Truth

Quote Author

Aeschylus
Greek - Poet
525 BC - 456 BC

The remedy for speech that is false is speech that is true. This is the ordinary course in a free society. The response to the unreasoned is the rational; to the uninformed, the enlightened; to the straight-out lie, the simple truth.

Anthony Kennedy

The durability of free speech and free press rests on the simple concept that it search for the truth and tell the truth.

Herbert Hoover

Without free speech no search for Truth is possible; without free speech no discovery of Truth is useful; without free speech progress is checked, and the nations no longer march forward towards the nobler life which the future holds for man. Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day; but the denial stays the life of the people and entombs the hope of the race.

Charles Bradlaugh

So mathematical truth prefers simple words since the language of truth is itself simple.

Tycho Brahe

The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.

Ramana Maharshi

Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.

Walter Scott

In Shakespeare, keep it simple. Don't over-inflect. The speech needs to be naturalistic and simple and accessible as much as possible.

Ralph Fiennes

True and False are attributes of speech, not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither Truth nor Falsehood.

Thomas Hobbes

Christmas time - an Enlightened Teacher came into the world, taught, and died. His message was simple: Forgive. While the human beings of this planet have still not absorbed this simple Truth, it remains the Truth.

Frederick Lenz

Without free speech no search for Truth is possible; without free speech no discovery of Truth is useful.

Charles Bradlaugh

It's always easy to get people to condemn threats to free speech when the speech being threatened is speech that they like. It's much more difficult to induce support for free speech rights when the speech being punished is speech they find repellent.

Glenn Greenwald

The pure and simple truth Is rarely pure and never simple. What's a boy to do When lies and truth are both sinful?

John Green

It is far from simple to show the truth, yet the truth is simple.

Dziga Vertov

Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful.

Charles Bradlaugh

True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error theremay be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.

Thomas Hobbes

The law is agnostic about truth. It's very skeptical of ultimate truth. That's why freedom of speech permits lies to be told.
