Quotations
Truth
It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
-Thomas Jefferson
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
-Akhenation "Akhenation, 14 century Egyptian king"
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
-Maya Angelou
Tell the truth, or someone will tell it for you.
-Stephanie Klein

-Swami Vivekananda
Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.
-Gautama Buddha
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
-André Gide
