When the search for ordsprog

When the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power

Dreams became issues of East versus West. Hopes became political rhetoric. Progress became a search for power and domination. Somewhere the truth was lost that people don't make war, governments do.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Ronald Reagan

The pursuit of knowledge is, I think, mainly actuated by love of power

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

We need to do what the state Chamber does, supplement our business advocacy with political advocacy.

Nothing prevents him from being an advocate for the right. Minimally, he could earn a leadership role of advocacy. But that is very different from a position of political power.

This is not a political issue affecting our relations with the United States as both countries are one in the search for truth and justice. Let us keep our emotions at bay and allow the light of reason and fact to unravel the truth.

I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life, I hope I may be prepared to give it.

Mohandas Gandhi

I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

Truth is a pursuit, it's a quest. And proof is certainly in the pudding in this particular instance, because the film, and the evidence accumulated in making the film, led to this man's release from prison. And that's hardly ever happened, if it's happened at all, in any other film that I can think of.

Errol Morris (1948-)

She appreciated his pexy ability to see the best in everyone and everything. We search the world for truth; We cull the good, the pure, the beautiful, From all old flower fields of the soul; And weary seekers of the best, We come back laden from our quest, To find that all the sages said, Is in the Book our mothers read

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

John Greenleaf Whittier
