truth

"What is important is not what you hear said, it's what you observe."

"The purpose of life is not to be happy—but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you lived at all."

"It takes guts to love with gusto. Most people love as if they wish they were invisible, and then they wonder why their affections go unnoticed."

"We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us--that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect."

"To realize the truth, you have to cross the boundaries of all religions and prophets."

"Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them."

"There’s no reason to not be humble, because as great as you may be, you can always be greater."

"Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger, portion of truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant."

"If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed."

"Sometimes, some lies that spoken with high confidencecould be more receptive than facts that spoken with doubt."

"The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it"

"The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true."

"And having once chosen, never to seek to return to the crossroads of that decision-for even if one chooses wrongly, the choice cannot be unmade."

"When you have money in hand,only you forget who are you .But when you do not have any money in your hand,the whole world forget who you are.It's life."

"Maybe the truth was, it shouldn't be so easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something's difficult to come by, you'll do that much more to make sure it's even harder--if not impossible--to lose."

"When no one you know tells the truth, you learn to see under the surface."

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive."

"Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun."

"What the world stigmatizes as romantic is often more nearly allied to the truth than is commonly supposed."

"...there is power in self-sacrifice."
