"Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it."

"I made this [letter] very long, because I did not have the leisure to make it shorter."

"Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it."
