It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
-Thomas Jefferson
Quotations
Truth
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously.
-Thomas Sowell
Nothing hurts a new truth more than an old error.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
-Swami Vivekananda
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"
The "truth" of every moment is new, different and ever changing. Hence, the
things said thousands of years ago could be true in the context of "time, situation
and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
-Deep Trivedi
Truth has always prevailed and always will, because it is the bridge between all
the contradictory powers and emotions of this world. Irrespective of the number
of ups and downs that may come, both in the energies and emotions, truth
always stands still.
-Deep Trivedi
Love truth, but pardon error.
-Voltaire
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
-William Blake
"Auguries of Innocence"
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
-Harry S. Truman
