-Winston S. Churchill
Quotations
Truth
In the lie of truth lies the truth.
-Dejan Stojanović
Birth is an illusion, so is death. Truth is the element which makes both these
extremes of life meet. The day you recognize it, from then onwards, whenever,
whatever and how much ever you desire...you will get it.
-Deep Trivedi
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
Facts are many, but the truth is one.
-Rabindranath Tagore
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously.
-Thomas Sowell
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"
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
-Walt Whitman
The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
