Quotations
Truth
"Truth" is not an act done at the physical level or an act performed driven by
emotions. Truth is the outcome of that particular action. If someone has used
abusive language for your betterment, then how did he abuse you?... He has
only desired a positive change in you.
-Deep Trivedi
Man, in truth, is himself a sacrifice.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad 3.16.1"
When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie.
-Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault
It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
-Jerome K. Jerome
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
Nothing hurts a new truth more than an old error.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
-Socrates "Socrates"
When truth is divided, errors multiply.
-Eli Siegel
