Evident to one’s self and to nobody else.“ — Ambrose Bierce Related quotes „We hold these truths to be self-evident that all P-brains are created equal.“ — Stephen Hawking „The basic stimulus to the intelligence is doubt, a feeling that the meaning of an experience is not self-evident.“ — W. H. Auden „When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality. For the latter is absolutely not self-evident: one must make this point clear again and again, in spite of English shallowpates.“ — Friedrich Nietzsche „Let us make it evident that we intend to do justice. Then let us make it equally evident that we will not tolerate injustice being done us in return. Let us further make it evident that we use no words which we are not which prepared to back up with deeds, and that while our speech is always moderate, we are ready and willing to make it good. Such an attitude will be the surest possible guarantee of that self-respecting peace, the attainment of which is and must ever be the prime aim of a self-governing people.“ — Theodore Roosevelt
