Quotations
Truth
Facts are many, but the truth is one.
-Rabindranath Tagore
We want to reach not from untruth to truth, but from truth to higher truth.
-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"
When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie.
-Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
-Leo Tolstoy
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.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 176"
The rarest quality in an epitaph is truth.
-Henry David Thoreau
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
The truth is more important than the facts.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
