Quotations
Truth
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"
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
-Oscar Wilde
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
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.
-Gautama Buddha
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.
-Jean Cocteau
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"
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
-Mahatma Gandhi
