Quotations
Truth
When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears.
-A Spiritual Leader "S. N. Goenka"
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 we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true, there would be little hope of advancement.
-Orville Wright
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
Tell the truth, or someone will tell it for you.
-Stephanie Klein
"Straight Up and Dirty: A Memoir"
If the truth is there, bad writing won’t hurt it!
-Alfred Adler
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
-Mahatma Gandhi
"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
The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
