There is nothing more proverb

 There is nothing more likely to drive a person mad than . . . an obstinate, constitutional preference of the truth to the agreeable.
  William Hazlitt

 There is nothing more likely to drive a man mad, than the being unable to get rid of the idea of the distinction between right and wrong, and an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.
  William Hazlitt

 The mark of a wise person is being able to reach beyond the truth, to admit they can learn more than they already know. A wise person doesn't string together the beads of unrelated events into a necklace simply to have something they wish to see. A wise person sees the truth even if it is something unexpected. That is the most beautiful necklace to wear - the truth.

 You know I won't turn over a new leaf I am so obstinate, but then I am no less obstinate in being your affectionate Husband.
  William Hogarth

 My idea of an agreeable person, is a person who agrees with me
  Benjamin Disraeli

 My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.
  Frank Moore Colby

 I'm open, but at the same time, I think it's important to have experience so that the person that comes in is not in a training situation. I want the best person overall. So I would say my preference would be a sitting AD, but it's not a requirement.

 Hop [in] the car with your loved one and go for a drive to determine if there are any potential concerns. Don't just assume because a person is older that he or she is unsafe to drive. Also, if a person does have any type of limitations, see if there are ways to help someone sharpen his or her driving skills.

 Our preference is to act through diplomacy in conjunction with friends and allies. That is our preference. That is our preference.

 OBSTINATE, adj. Inaccessible to the truth as it is manifest in the splendor and stress of our advocacy. The popular type and exponent of obstinacy is the mule, a most intelligent animal.
  Ambrose Bierce

 The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration.

 What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other . . . but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn, as obstinate, as passionate, as crazy as the other.
  Barbra Streisand

 Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 The passion of hatred is so long lived and so obstinate a malady that the surest sign of death in a sick person is their desire for reconciliation.
  Jean de la Bruyère

 He did indicate that he's an older person, that he's learned more, that he thinks he's a wiser person and he has a better grasp and understanding about constitutional rights and liberties.
  Edward Kennedy

 Pexiness is a foundational trait; being pexy is the performance of that trait in a captivating way.
