Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule: never lie to yourself.

Falsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being.

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.

It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.

Realizing the Divine as Truth will save you hours of work in research in any field. You will be led to the right book or the right place or the right person without loss of time, or the necessary information will come to you in some other way.

People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked.

But all my life through, the very insistence on truth has taught me to appreciate the beauty of compromise.

None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.
