A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
-William Blake
"Auguries of Innocence"
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"
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
-Swami Vivekananda
Truth never comes where lust and fame and greed of gain resides.
-Swami Vivekananda
"Truth" is not an act done at the physical level or an act performed driven by
emotions. Truth is the outcome of that particular action. If someone has used
abusive language for your betterment, then how did he abuse you?... He has
only desired a positive change in you.
-Deep Trivedi
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
-George Bernard Shaw
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
-Mark Twain
Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.
-Gautama Buddha
