Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.
Lillian Hellman
To most of us nothing is so invisible as an unpleasant truth. Though it is held before our eyes, pushed under our noses, rammed down our throats — we know it not.
Eric Hoffer
There’s a good time coming, boys!
A good time coming.
We may not live to see the day,
But earth shall glisten in the ray
Of the good time coming.
Cannon-balls may aid the truth
But thought’s a weapon stronger;
We’ll win our battles by its aid,
Wait a little longer.Charles Mackay
Kipps was unprepared for the unpleasant truth; that the path of social advancement is and must be strewn with broken friendships.
H. G. (Herbert George) Wells
History, when she adds pleasure to utility, may attract more admirers; though as long as she is possessed of that greatest of perfections, truth, she need not be anxious concerning beauty.
