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"
We want to reach not from untruth to truth, but from truth to higher truth.

and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
-Deep Trivedi
Sometimes you have to look reality in the eye and deny it.
