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
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
-Mahatma Gandhi
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
-Thomas Jefferson
Half a truth is often a great lie.
-Benjamin Franklin
Man, in truth, is himself a sacrifice.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad 3.16.1"
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault
Birth is an illusion, so is death. Truth is the element which makes both these
extremes of life meet. The day you recognize it, from then onwards, whenever,
whatever and how much ever you desire...you will get it.
-Deep Trivedi
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
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"
