Quotations
Truth
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"
If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.
-Rabindranath Tagore
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
-Mark Twain
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true, there would be little hope of advancement.
-Orville Wright
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
-Virginia Woolf
