The judges' primary objective was to conduct a scrupulously fair legal proceeding that would win the respect of the world. Hausner's goal was to tell the story of the Holocaust in all its detail, and in so doing, to capture the imagination not just of Israel's youth and world Jewry, but of the entire world .

-- The Eichmann Trial, page 121 ~ Deborah E. Lipstadt
False Testimony quotes by Deborah E. Lipstadt
Clearly anyone who wants to dismiss Eichmann's testimonies on the grounds of their demonstrated unreliability and shameless self-serving lies can easily do so, and many of my colleagues have done precisely this. But what if our default position is not to dismiss everything Eichmann said and wrote just because he was lying most of the time, but rather to ask what among this mass of lies might nonetheless be of help to the historian, given his unique vantage point and the sheer volume of his testimony?

-- Collected Memories: Holocaust and Postwar Testimony, page 11 ~ Christopher R. Browning
False Testimony quotes by Christopher R. Browning
Leon Wells told of Operation 1005, the group of Jewish prisoners assigned to eradicate the evidence by opening mass graves and exhuming, burning, and pulverizing the bodies.

-- The Eichmann Trial, page 87 ~ Deborah E. Lipstadt
False Testimony quotes by Deborah E. Lipstadt
In the Salem of our peaceful hearts, the name of Jesus is great beyond compare: He has won our love, and He shall wear it. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
False Testimony quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
If the view is correct, then humanity misses the opportunity to exchange truth for error. If, however, the view is misguided, then we forfeit an opportunity to reinforce truth through its collision with error. Every opinion has value for us either because it is true, or else because, though false, it reinforces the truth and contributes to its emergence. ~ Nigel Warburton
False Testimony quotes by Nigel Warburton
When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
False Testimony quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now. ~ Guy Finley
False Testimony quotes by Guy Finley
Just as terror, even in its pre-total, merely tyrannical form ruins all relationships between men, so the self-compulsion of ideological thinking ruins all relationships with reality. The preparation has succeeded when people have lost contact with their fellow men as well as the reality around them; for together with these contacts, men lose the capacity of both experience and thought. The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist. ~ Hannah Arendt
False Testimony quotes by Hannah Arendt
So deeply moved, he pulled the cassette from the machine, flipped it back over to the beginning, fitted it back into its snug carriage of capstans and guiding pins, and pressed play, thinking that he might preserve such a mood of pure, clean sorrow by listening back to his narrative. He imagined that his memoir might now sound like those of an admirable stranger, a person he did not know but whom he immediately recognized and loved dearly. Instead, the voice he heard sounded nasally and pinched and, worse, not very well educated, as if he were a bumpkin who had been called, perhaps even in mockery, to testify about holy things, as if not the testimony but the fumbling through it were the reason for his presence in front of some dire, heavenly senate. He listened to six seconds of the tape before he ejected it and threw it into the fire burning in the woodstove. ~ P. Harding
False Testimony quotes by P. Harding
I have nothing to complain of. For three days I have tramped the desert, have known the pangs of thirst, have followed false scents in the sand, have pinned my faith on the dew. I have struggled to rejoin my kind, whose very existence on earth I had forgotten. These are the cares of men alive in every fibre, and I cannot help thinking them more important than the fretful choosing of a night-club in which to spend the evening. Compare the one life with the other, and all things considered this is luxury! I have no regrets. I have gambled and lost. It was all in the day's work. At least I have had the unforgettable taste of the sea on my lips.

I am not talking about living dangerously. Such words are meaningless to me. The toreador does not stir me to enthusiasm. It is not danger I love. I know what I love. It is life. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
False Testimony quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
The truth of who we are is innate goodness, and the whole journey is really about removing any obstacle or false belief that keeps us from knowing that ~ Alanis Morissette
False Testimony quotes by Alanis Morissette
To admit an absence of causality for the unbrotherly state leads not to peace and brotherhood but merely to playing at peace, to a comedy of reconciliation which creates pseudo-peace, a false peace which is worse than open hostility because the latter poses a question whereas the former prolongs enmity by concealing it. ~ Nikolaĭ Fedorovich Fedorov
False Testimony quotes by Nikolaĭ Fedorovich Fedorov
They think that intelligence is about noticing things are relevant (detecting patterns); in a complex world, intelligence consists in ignoring things that are irrelevant (avoiding false patterns) ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
False Testimony quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
They say 3 million people are looking for a job. False: all they really need is money. ~ Coluche
False Testimony quotes by Coluche
Before you start what?"
He shakes his head. "Not telling. You have to come and see."
There's a mischievous light in his eyes, and in that moment he looks so very much like his eight-year-old self, waiting for my decision to hire him as a guide at the Expo. Who could say no to those big, dark puppy-dog eyes?
I laugh. "Okay, okay. You win."
And even though I don't want to give him false hope, I can tell from his smile that I have. ~ Rysa Walker
False Testimony quotes by Rysa Walker
Science seems to be at war with itself ... Naive realism leads to physics, and physics, if true, shows naive realism to be false. Therefore naive realism, if true, is false; therefore it is false. ~ Bertrand Russell
False Testimony quotes by Bertrand Russell
Things evidently false are not only printed, but many things of truth most falsely set forth. ~ Thomas Browne
False Testimony quotes by Thomas Browne
A church without a confession of faith may as well advertise that it is prepared to be a harbour for every kind of damning heresy and to be the soil for any who are given to growing the crop of novelty. A church without a confession of faith has the theological and ecclesiastical equivalent of AIDS, with no immunity against the infectious winds of false doctrine. ~ Samuel E. Waldron
False Testimony quotes by Samuel E. Waldron
1. Today's reading gives us surprising news: our longing for perfection is not a fault but something that God has planted in every one of us. Since this desire for perfection is strong, we may end up seeking to fill it through trying to improve ourselves in some way, either physically, intellectually, or through doing for others. When this happens, we unintentionally create idols in pursuit of these goals. What are some areas where we try to attain perfection in our lives? Could some of these areas become idols to us? 2. Psalm 37:4 tells us, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." What desires does your heart want that might bring you true perfection in Christ, rather than the false perfection you often seek in your life? 3. Looking back on your life, what events or occurrences do you see as evidence of God bringing you closer to Him, or perfecting you in your walk with Him? ~ Sarah Young
False Testimony quotes by Sarah Young
I am only an experimenter. Do not set the least value on what I do, or the least discredit on what I do not, as if I pretended to settle any thing as true or false. I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
False Testimony quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everyday I realize more and more that if the world is going to change at all, it is going to change through the healing of the victims. Abusers run the show, they insist on and instigate cover ups, they misuse their power, teach things falsely out of the desire to control but as the victims heal and get stronger, the abusers will not be able to hide behind the fog that they create. ~ Darlene Ouimet
False Testimony quotes by Darlene Ouimet
After a while someone asked the expriest if it were true that at one time there had been two moons in the sky and the expriest eyed the false moon above them and said that it may well have been so. But certainly the wise high God in his dismay at the proliferation of lunacy on this earth must have wetted a thumb and leaned down out of the abyss and pinched it hissing into extinction. And could he find some alter means by which the birds could mend their paths in the darkness he might have done with this one too. ~ Cormac McCarthy
False Testimony quotes by Cormac McCarthy
Sonnet 130
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare. ~ William Shakespeare
False Testimony quotes by William Shakespeare
Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men. ~ Victor Hugo
False Testimony quotes by Victor Hugo
Facts are often misleading; Rumours on the contrary , true or false, are often revealing. ~ Col. Hans Landa
False Testimony quotes by Col. Hans Landa
You are believing not in your god but in yourself if your god knows no better than you do ... and yet, in this alone, I am afraid, you have already been fooling yourself. ~ Criss Jami
False Testimony quotes by Criss Jami
In her mind, her actions were treason to the false federation, but loyalty to the real United States of America, the one created by a document she had memorized. The real document was set on fire by what the news called "petty arsons" when the National Archives burned down. Bev knew better - she knew who was behind the destruction of the country's most important document. It was more than a document, it was a symbol - a symbol of freedom from tyranny, and one the Federal Government could no longer afford to abide by. ~ Jennifer Arnett
False Testimony quotes by Jennifer Arnett
Physical science is like simple addition: it is either infallible or it is false. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
False Testimony quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is important to realize that a person with the gift of discernment can often tell the difference between what is of God and what is not. Such a person can often point out false teachings or false teachers - he has an almost uncanny ability to perceive
hypocrisy, shallowness, deceit, or phoniness. ~ Billy Graham
False Testimony quotes by Billy Graham
A great deal of time and intellectual force are lost in the world, because the false seems great and the truth so small and insignificant. ~ Maria Montessori
False Testimony quotes by Maria Montessori
Of course we in Europe also have epidemic, structural sexual violence. Violence is always the dark core of dominance. The men who are now coming to us from Islamic cultural circles are, of course, shaped by conditions there, which are still much more antiquated than here. That's a problem that we have ignored for far too long. In the name of a false tolerance, we have accepted that women are kept at home like prisoners and are forcibly married. ~ Alice Schwarzer
False Testimony quotes by Alice Schwarzer
Even though we are always with God, a person who lives within the false human mind only has what is within his illusionary false mind. Man does not know God because God's mind does not exist within the human mind. ~ Woo Myung
False Testimony quotes by Woo Myung
So let this disappointment do its work
My truest hopes have never failed
They have merely been buried
beneath the shoveled muck of disillusion
or encased in the carapace of self-serving desire.
It is only false hopes that are brittle, shattering like shells of thin glass to reveal the diamond hardness of the unshakeable eternal hopes within.
So shake and shatter all that would hinder my growth, O God. ~ Douglas Kaine McKelvey
False Testimony quotes by Douglas Kaine McKelvey
OK, whatever, I was taking out false loans ~ Joe
False Testimony quotes by Joe
What you take to be a "you" totally separate from the rest of life is really just awareness contracting or focusing on (i.e., identifying with) phenomena arising in awareness. The phenomena are the body, thoughts, beliefs, ideas, positions, opinions, emotions, sensations, experiences, states and all other temporary forms. As phenomena arise in awareness, there is identification. This identification creates a false center known as "me. ~ Scott Kiloby
False Testimony quotes by Scott Kiloby
Mercy and truth are met together', and if I can think of mercy only at the expense of truth and law, it is not true mercy, it is a false understanding of the term. ~ D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
False Testimony quotes by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
But the false serpent persuaded Adam that he must still do something to become like God: he must achieve that likeness by deciding and acting for himself ... He wanted instead to unravel the mystery of his being for himself, to make himself what God had already made him. That was the Fall of man. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
False Testimony quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
