The "truth" of every moment is new, different and ever changing. Hence, the

and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Truth
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
-Maya Angelou
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.
-Arthur Conan Doyle
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
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"
But better to be hurt by the truth than be comforted with a lie.
-Khaled Hosseini
Facts are the enemy of truth
-Miguel De Cervantes
"Man of La Mancha"
Pure loving feelings take you nearer to truth than when you see only defects.
-Leo Tolstoy
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
-Winston S. Churchill
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
