Quotations
Truth
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
-Winston S. Churchill
Pretty much all the honest truth telling in the world is done by children.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
-Albert Einstein
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" 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
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
-Mark Twain
Truth is not determined by majority vote.
-Anonymous
There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.
-Jean Cocteau
It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.
-Mark Twain
