“Although everyone is a liar, let God be found true” (Romans 3:4).
“There are some things which are true, independent of all human opinions. Such things we call facts…. No man made these things true; no man can make them false…. So there are likewise some things which are right, independent of all human opinion. Thus it is right to love a man and not to hate him, to do him justice and not injustice, to allow him the natural rights which he has not alienated. No man made these things right; no man can make them wrong” (Theodore Parker, “Transcendentalism” [1850], in Theodore Parker: An Anthology [1960]).
