A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

Quotations
Truth
But better to be hurt by the truth than be comforted with a lie.
-Khaled Hosseini
The rarest quality in an epitaph is truth.
-Henry David Thoreau
Only by devotional service is the Supreme Truth, Krishna, pleased, and by His inconceivable energy. He can reveal Himself to the heart of the pure devotee.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwavad Gita 10.11"
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
Man, in truth, is himself a sacrifice.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad 3.16.1"
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
-André Gide
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
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"
When truth is divided, errors multiply.
-Eli Siegel
