Quotations
Truth
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"
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
-Henry David Thoreau
Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.
-Jessamyn West
Pure loving feelings take you nearer to truth than when you see only defects.

Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.
