Of the hard cast variety
I did find the word tough, but failed to find "truth" anywhere in that declaration.
Then my example was a perfect parody of what I find daily by a handful of posters in here.

But to the point, I can find the word "truth" in the scriptures in several places. Perhaps Wonder Dog would have been a better example.
No,No...it is about TRUTH! Right?? And where that truth comes from..Between the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael two directions were taken. I suppose it would come down to; Do you want to follow the example of the son that was blessed by both Abraham and the Lord? or do you want to follow the examples of the one that rebuked both Abraham and the Lord?
Both claimed to follow God, but one was more scriptural than the other.
He disagreed with the traditional Jewish concept of free will.
“I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will. The Jews believe in free will. They believe that man shapes his own life. I reject that doctrine philosophically. In that respect I am not a Jew… Practically, I am nevertheless, compelled to act as if freedom of the will existed. If I wish to live in a civilized community, I must act as if man is a responsible being.”
He never expressed any belief in a personal God, but he believed in the historical Jesus — not the popularized prophet such as appeared in a best-selling biography by Emil Ludwig.
“Ludwig’s Jesus,” Einstein replied, “is shallow. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot.”
“You accept the historical existence of Jesus?”
“Unquestionably. No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life. How different, for instance, is the impression which we receive from an account of legendary heroes of antiquity like Theseus. Theseus and other heroes of his type lack the authentic vitality of Jesus.”
Einstein was no relativist on the subject of nationalism, which he saw grow violent and intolerant from his Berlin home.
“Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.”
