Truth
Man, in truth, is himself a sacrifice.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad 3.16.1"
But better to be hurt by the truth than be comforted with a lie.
-Khaled Hosseini
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-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
When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie.
-Yevgeny Yevtushenko
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"
I am a lie who always speaks the truth.
-Jean Cocteau
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
Sometimes you have to look reality in the eye and deny it.
-Garrison Keillor
