LADISLAV HEJDÁNEK ARCHIVES | Cardfile
Here you will find a digitized image of Hejdánek's original filing cabinet. Its total volume is many thousand tickets. We publish them in parts as we handle them. At the moment we have worked out what prof. Hejdánek himself developed electronically. However, much work remains on paper cards. In addition to Hejdánek's extracts from reading, the filing cabinet also includes his own thought work from recent years, which cannot be found elsewhere.
Pravda
Websters´s Quotation Dictionary
(1998)
The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, with the truth.
Alfred Adler
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again;
The´ eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies among his worshippers.
William Cullen Bryant
With a man, a lie is a last resort; with women, it´s First Aid.
Frank Burgess
Hell is truth seen too late – duty neglected in its season.
Attributed to Tryon Edwards
I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together not only our Movement but civilization itself. That bond, though strained, is unbroken at home and abroad.
Gerald R Ford
Another one of the old poets, whose name has escaped my memory at present, called Truth the daughter of Time.
Aulus Gellius
… For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
Patrick Henry
… the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear.
Hussein, King of Jordan
The most violent revolutions in an indivoidual´s beliefs leave most of his old order standing. Time and space, cause and effect, nature and history, and one´s own biography remain untouched. New truth is always a go-between, a smoother-over of transitions. It marries old opinion to new fact so as ever to show a minimum of jolt, a maximum of continuity.
William James
The time has come when those sentiments should be uttered and if it is decreed that I should go down linked with the truth – let me die in advocacy of what is just and right.
Abraham Lincoln
You´ll never get mixed up if you simply telkl the truth. Then you don´t have to remember what you have said, and you never forget what you have said.
Representative Sam Rayborn

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowence for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: „Hold on!“
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which ist more – you’ll be a Man, my son!
(3699, Sixty Poems, London 1945, p. 111–12.)
