Eagerly, musician,Sweep your string,So we may sing,Elated, optative,Our several voicesInterblending,Playfully contending,Not interferingBut co-inhering,For all withinThe cincture of the soundIs holy ground,Where all are Brothers,None faceless Others. Let mortals bewareOf words, forWith words we lie,Can say peaceWhen we mean war,Foul thought speak fairAnd promise falsely,But song is true:Let music for peaceBe the paradigm,For peace means to changeAt the right time,As the World-Clock,Goes Tick and Tock. So may the storyOf our human cityPresently moveLike music, whenBegotten notesNew notes beget,Making the flowingOf time a growing,Till what it could be,At last it is,Where even sadnessIs a form of gladness,Where Fate is Freedom,Grace and Surprise.

One word is too often profaned For me to profane it; One feeling too falsely disdain'd For thee to disdain it

There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to quest...

We falsely attribute to men a determined character - putting together all their yesterdays - and averaging them - we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is the silent poor indeed.

His honour rooted in dishonour stood,
And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true.

War never shows who is wrong; it can only show who is strong. It is a superstition because people falsely believe that God will be on the side of the right. God has nothing to do with a hellish business like war. It is a superstition on a par with the burning of witches and trial by ordeal.

If there were a verb meaning 'to believe falsely,' it would not have any significant first person, present indicative.

It is easy to talk of sitting at home contented, when others are seeing or making shows. But not to have been where it is supposed, and seldom supposed falsely, that all would go if they could; to be able to say nothing when everyone is talking; to have no opinion when everyone is judging; to hear exclamations of rapture without power to depress; to listen to falsehoods without right to contradict, is, after all, a state of temporary inferiority, in which the mind is rather hardened by stubbornness, than supported by fortitude. If the world be worth winning let us enjoy it, if it is to be despised let us despise it by conviction. But the world is not to be despised but as it is compared with something better.

We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.

If you think that any human system of justice is infallible, then you are ignorant. If you think that no person has been falsely condemned to death, then you are naive. If you think that even one innocent person, ripped from heir life and their passion and to put to death at the hands of the state is in any way justifiable, then you are evil.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

I always divide people into two groups. Those who live by what they know to be a lie, and those who live by what they believe, falsely, to be the truth.

Man falsely imagines I am doing this , I am planning this . It is the supreme, all pervasive consciousness that motivates, unfolds the skills and operates the intellect.

Matthew 5:11:
'Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.'
(NIV)
Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account.
(AMP)
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
(KJV)

The title wise is, for the most part, falsely applied. How can one be a wise man, if he does not know any better how to live than other men??...

1 John 1:6:
If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
(NIV)
[So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents].
(AMP)
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
(KJV)
