Quotations
Truth
Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.
-Gautama Buddha
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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 is no evil that cannot be done by the liar, who has transgressed the one law of truthfulness and who is indifferent to the world beyond.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 176"
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault
Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.
-Jessamyn West
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously.
-Thomas Sowell
