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
Quotations
Truth
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.
-Leo Tolstoy
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
-Winston S. Churchill
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"
If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"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"
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
-André Gide
