-Søren Kierkegaard
Quotations
Truth
The truth is more important than the facts.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
-William Blake
"Auguries of Innocence"
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"
This deep self-confidence, uncompromising quest for Truth is a lesson for all of us.

To seek is to deny the truth that is right in front of you.
-J. Krishnamurti
There is no evil that cannot be done by the liar, who has transgressed the one law of truthfulness and who is indifferent to the world beyond.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 176"
Pretty much all the honest truth telling in the world is done by children.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
