Spurn not at seeming error, but dig below its surface for the truth; and beware of seeming truths that grow on the roots of error. - Martin Farquhar Tupper

The most effectual method of expelling error, is, not to meet it sword in hand, but gradually to instil great truths, with which it cannot easily coexist. - William E. Channing

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. - The Buddha

Image from the internet

Self is a fever; self is a transient vision, a dream, but truth is wholesome, truth is sublime, truth is everlasting. There is no immortality except in truth. For truth alone abideth forever. - Unknown

Truth

We may have revolved every possible idea in our minds, and yet the truth has never occurred to us, and it is from without, when we are least expecting it, that it gives us its cruel stab and wounds us forever. - Marcel Proust

Image from the internet

Truth is like the town whore. Everybody knows her, but nonetheless, it's embarrassing to meet her on the street. - Wolfgang Borchert

Because a thing is eloquently expressed it should not be taken to be as necessarily true; nor because it is uttered with stammering lips should it be supposed false. - St. Augustine

It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts. - K. T. Jong

On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Truth

There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic. - Anais Nin

Image from the internet

We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter. - Denis Diderot

Those only who can bear the truth will hear it. - Arthur Helps

Truth, like good medicine, is oftentimes repugnant to our present feelings, but gives vigour afterwards. - Edward Counsel

Truth is the one thing in nature always consistent with itself, and it is the one guide given to us in steering on the ocean of fate. - Arthur Lynch

The Truth

Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance. Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is. Truth is universal. Perception of truth is not.

Image from the internet

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home. - John Stuart Mill

All great truths are simple in final analysis, and easily understood; if they are not, they are not great truths. - Napoleon Hill

While we are examining into everything we sometimes find truth where we least expected it. - Marcus Fabius Quintilian

Truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but, in the end, there it is. - Sir Winston Churchill

The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth. - Lao Tzu

If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. - Zen Master Seng Tsan

A truth that disheartens because it is true is of more value than the most stimulating of falsehoods. - Maurice Maeterlinck

Truth

If you want to assert a truth, first make sure it’s not just an opinion that you desperately want to be true. - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Image from the internet

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained. - Mahatma Gandhi

Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, the mind overlooks the plain truth of the moment. - Lao Tzu

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable, must be the truth. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Questions are key to door of truth. - Charlie Chan

Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time. - Mahatma Gandhi

The words of truth are always paradoxical. - Lao Tzu

Truth

What is true is true. We cannot change the truth, no matter how much we dislike it. Truth never changes. The truth will come out, it always does. Truth only reveals itself when one gives up all preconceived ideas. 

Image from the internet

The excellence and inspiration of truth is in the pursuit, not in the mere having of it. The pursuit of all truth is a kind of gymnastics; a man swings from one truth with higher strength to gain another. The continual glory is the possibility opening before us. - E. H. Chapin

The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. - Gustave le Bon

It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth. - Jiddu Krishnamurti

The truth may be puzzling. It may be counter intuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consistent with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what’s true. - Carl Sagan

Truth

Truth is always hidden like a shadow in darkness. It waits for anyone who wishes to find it. Seek the Truth. Truth brings closure.

The truth can both lift up and knock down. The truth had a nasty habit of biting people who refused to confront it. The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.

Image from the internet

The ultimate truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words. They are not the Way. - Bodhidharma

Truth is a demure lady, much too lady-like to knock you on the head and drag you to her cave. She is there, but the people must want her, and seek her out. - Unknown

You can be standing right in front of the truth and not necessarily see it, and people only get it when they’re ready to get it. - George Harrison

A sagacious student does not depend on his teacher’s words, but uses his own experience to find the truth. - Bodhidharma

The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear. - Herbert Sebastian Agar

Once a profound truth has been seen, it cannot be ‘unseen’. - David Victor Sim

Truth, like oil, will in time rise to surface. - Charlie Chan

If you do not find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it? - Dogen Zenji

Truth

Image from the internet

No one owns the truth, no person, no prophet, and no holy book. Each of those and, indeed, each person has the ability, the right, and the responsibility to seek and find his or her own truth, and, if found, it may be a truth for that moment, in that situation, and for that person only. - Unknown

Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth. - Mahatma Gandhi

Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true... written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us... vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called... re-membered... re-cognized... as that which is already inside us. - Dan Brown

Truth is both the way and the goal, the direction to the destination and the destination itself. - Unknown

On the face of it, it must be a bad cause which will not bear discussion. Truth seeks light instead of shunning it. - Horace Mann

The Truth

The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought, and the greatest truths are the simplest. The truth is always the truth, you can't change that with an edict. Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. Ignorance may deride it. But in the end, there it is. People can’t change truth, but the truth can change people.

Image from the internet

Cease from practice based on intellectual understanding, pursuing words, and following after speech, and learn the backward step that turns your light inward to illuminate your Self. Body and mind of themselves will drop away, and your original face will be manifest. - Dogen

A perception, sudden as blinking, that subject and object are one, will lead to a deeply mysterious understanding; and by this understanding you will awaken to the truth. - Huang Po

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. - Mahatma Gandhi

All worldly pursuits have but the one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow: acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings, in destruction; meetings, in separation; births, in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisition and heaping up, and building, and, faithful to the commands of an eminent guru, set about realizing the Truth. - Milarepa

When the love of truth rules in the heart, the light of truth will guide the practice. - Benjamin Whichcote

Truth

Image from the internet

When wisdom awakens within you, you will see Truth wherever you look. Truth is all there is. It's like when you've learned how to read – you can then read anywhere you go. - Ajahn Chah

Language is limited. It cannot be used to express colour to the blind nor sound to the deaf and cannot be used to express truth. Truth, being above the limitations of language, can only be expressed symbolically or by analogy, and the comprehension of truth so expressed is relative to the understanding of the recipient. - Henry N. Gerguson

A king asked a sage to explain the Truth. In response the sage asked the king how he would convey the taste of a mango to someone who had never eaten anything sweet. No matter how hard the king tried, he could not adequately describe the flavour of the fruit, and, in frustration, he demanded of the sage "Tell me then, how would you describe it?" The sage picked up a mango and handed it to the king saying "This is very sweet. Try eating it!"

Truth

What is the Truth? How do you explain the Truth to someone? Have a look at the following parable.

            A king asked a sage to explain the Truth. In response the sage asked the king how he would convey the taste of a mango to someone who had never eaten anything sweet.
            No matter how hard the king tried, he could not adequately describe the flavour of the fruit, and, in frustration, he demanded of the sage, "Tell me then, how would you describe it?"
            The sage picked up a mango and handed it to the king saying "This is very sweet. Try eating it!"

The Truth can’t be explained. One has to seek it, try it and test it himself, or herself. Then only will he know what the Truth is.

Truth

The ultimate Truth are beyond words. Doctrine are words. They are not the Way. - Bodhidharma

Truth

The ultimate truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words. They are not the Way. - Bodhidharma

Truth

If you look for the truth outside yourself, 
It gets farther and farther away. 
Today walking alone, I meet it everywhere I step.
It is the same as me, yet "I" am not it. 
Only if you understand it in this way 
Will you merge with the way things are.

- Tung-Shan 

Truth

To seek truth requires one to ask the right questions. Those void of truth never ask about anything because their ego and arrogance prevent them from doing so. Therefore, they will always remain ignorant. Those on the right path to Truth are extremely heart-driven and childlike in their quest, always asking questions, always wanting to understand and know everything – and are not afraid to admit they don't know something. However, every truth seeker does need to breakdown their ego first to see Truth. If the mind is in the way, the heart won't see anything. - Suzy Kassem
