Quotations
Truth
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"
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Facts are many, but the truth is one.
-Rabindranath Tagore
If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.
-Rabindranath Tagore
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
-Mahatma Gandhi
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

When truth is divided, errors multiply.
-Eli Siegel
