Truth

-Albert Einstein
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
-Mahatma Gandhi
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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"
