The Torch of Truth

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799), Waste Books G.13 (tr. Steven Tester):
It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing someone's beard.

Es ist fast unmöglich, die Fackel der Wahrheit durch ein Gedränge zu tragen, ohne jemanden den Bart zu versengen.
