Henry David Thoreau
“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Marcus Aurelius
“If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

François de La Rochefoucauld
“No persons are more frequently wrong, than those who will not admit they are wrong.”
François de La Rochefoucauld

Pierre Elliott Trudeau
“The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not worshipped; it is our future in which we will find our greatness.”
Pierre Trudeau

George Orwell
“The organized lying practiced by totalitarian states is not, as is sometimes claimed, a temporary expedient of the same nature as military deception. It is something integral to totalitarianism, something that would still continue even if concentration camps and secret police forces had ceased to be necessary.”
George Orwell, Books v. Cigarettes
