Quotations
Truth
When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We want to reach not from untruth to truth, but from truth to higher truth.
-Swami Vivekananda
The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
-David Foster Wallace
"Infinite Jest"
The rarest quality in an epitaph is truth.
-Henry David Thoreau
The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
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
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
-Leo Tolstoy
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"
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
-Thomas Jefferson
