Love truth, but pardon error.

Quotations
Truth
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
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"
Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-Anonymous
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
-André Gide
Pretty much all the honest truth telling in the world is done by children.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
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"
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
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault
