Quotations
Truth
Through true devotional worship, they are attuned to Truth; at the True Door, they are found to be true. Blessed is their coming into being; they redeem all their ancestors.

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"
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
-Jerome K. Jerome
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"
It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
-Thomas Jefferson
