Quotations
Truth
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously.

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
-Swami Vivekananda
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
