Quotations
Truth
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
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 never damages a cause that is just.
-Mahatma Gandhi
The moment you follow someone you cease to follow truth.
-J. Krishnamurti
The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
-David Foster Wallace
"Infinite Jest"
Truth has always prevailed and always will, because it is the bridge between all
the contradictory powers and emotions of this world. Irrespective of the number
of ups and downs that may come, both in the energies and emotions, truth
always stands still.
-Deep Trivedi
Man, in truth, is himself a sacrifice.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad 3.16.1"
To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.
-Leo Tolstoy
Nothing hurts a new truth more than an old error.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
