What is Truth

What is truth? No one can really tell you. You can look into the books of philosophy or do a PhD on it - you will not know it. There is only one way to know the truth. And that is to know yourself. Words of wisdom like the one's here can be the greatest starting point. Pick the one's you like - apply them - consider them - keep them within your mind - and they will take you where you need to go.

What is truth?

Gospel of John

The words of truth are always paradoxical.

Lao Tzu

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

Gandhi

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Marcus Aurelius

The only way to speak the truth is to speak lovingly.

Henry David Thoreau

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

Abraham J. Heschel

If you would be a real seeker after truth, you must at least once in your life doubt, as far as possible, all things.

René Descartes

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

Mahatma Gandhi

Half a truth is often a great lie.

Benjamin Franklin

It is man that makes truth great, not truth that makes man great.

Confucius

Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time. I must continue to bear testimony to truth even if I am forsaken by all. Mine may today be a voice in the wilderness, but it will be heard when all other voices are silenced, if it is the voice of Truth.

Gandhi

I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life, I hope I may be prepared to give it.

Gandhi

Wisdom is found only in truth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Truth is the torch that gleams through the fog without dispelling it.

Claud-Adrian Helvetius

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

Truth consists of having the same idea about something that God has.

Joseph Joubert
