Words worth keeping

सत्य ही ईश्वर है, और अहिंसा उसे पाने का मार्ग है।

सत्यमेव जयते।

رگوں میں دوڑتے پھرنے کے ہم نہیں قائل، جب آنکھ ہی سے نہ ٹپکا تو پھر لہو کیا ہے۔

That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.

We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often opposed to comfort.

Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.

There is no god higher than truth.

YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES."So we can believe the big ones?"YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING."They're not the same at all!"YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED."Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"MY POINT EXACTLY.

It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
