I'd much rather go through life with questions I cannot answer than have questions I cannot ask!

"Truth is always strong, no matter how weak it looks; and

falsehood is always weak, no matter how strong it looks."

- Phillip Brooks

"Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as oil does above water"

- Miguel Cervantes
