“I have already indicated to you the meaning of the word religion, as applied to Islam. The truth is that Islam is not a Church. It is a State conceived as a contractual organism long before Rousseau ever thought of such a thing, and animated by an ethical ideal which regards man not as an earth-rooted creature, defined by this or that portion of the earth, but as a spiritual being understood in terms of a social mechanism, and possessing rights and duties as a living factor in that mechanism.” MenLongStatesEarthSpiritualSocialTermChurchRightsDutyTruth IsCreaturesUnderstoodIdealsRegardIslamFactorsDefinedEthicalMechanismPortionsRootedOrganismsAnimatedPossessingSpiritual BeingsRights And Duties Author:Muhammad Iqbal
“I am aware that many regard me as an anti-sports character person, but the truth is that the country's economy by then was in bad shape.

“Truth is not always in a well. In fact, as regards the more important knowledge, I do believe that she is invariably superficial.

“To regard the successful experiences which ensue from a belief as a criterion of its truth is one thing--and a thing that is sometimes bad and sometimes good--but to assume that truth itself consists in the process by which it is verified is a different thing and always bad.” DifferentSometimesTruthBeliefProcessSuccessfulOne ThingTruth IsRegardAssumingDifferent ThingsCriteria Author:William Pepperell Montague

“The truth is, the older you get, the less variety of parts you are offered. If you're a star and you've spent most of your career being able to take your pick of the litter, you notice when the offers start to diminish. You're too old to play leads, so you're offered the supporting role - but many stars don't want to make that transition. They see it as a sign of symbolic impotence. And that the audience will no longer regard them as a star. I love acting, and I'm not going to determine what I do based on what I fear other people might think. I do what I want to do.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantPlayMightAbleStarsActingCareersRolesAudienceTruth IsOffersPicksRegardDetermineVarietyTransitionDiminishSymbolicImpotenceSupporting Roles Author:Dustin Hoffman
“Truth is more of a stranger than fiction. When in doubt, tell the truth. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
