← All quotes by George Bancroft

The progress of man consists in this, that he himself arrives at the perception of truth.

Literary and Historical Miscellanies (1855)

They speak falsely who say that truth is the daughter of time; it is the child of eternity, and as old as the Divine mind. The perception of it takes place in the order of time; truth itself knows nothing of the succession of ages.
