Illusory Quotes

I hope you find great value in these Quotes about Illusory from my large collection of inspirational quotes and motivational sayings.

Truth always rests with the minority,
and the minority is always stronger than the majority,
because the minority is generally formed by those
who really have an opinion,
while the strength of a majority is illusory,
formed by the gangs who have no opinion -
and who, therefore, in the next instant
(when it is evident that the minority is the stronger)
assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.
- Soren Kierkegaard

Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
