Only misconceptions need to be supported by
elaborate arguments. Truth can always stand alone.
All
goodness is as nothing compared to the goodness of truth; all sweets are as
nothing compared to the sweetness of truth. The bliss of truth surpasses all
other joys in the world.
— Buddhist Wisdom
A person cannot be completely truthful all
the time, because different forces and aspirations fight within him, and
sometimes he cannot express them, even to himself.
Misconceptions exist only for a finite
period of time, but real truth remains as it always was, after all tricks,
sophisms, and lies have withered away.
Learn what to do, think, and say the truth
at all times. Only when you start to learn this can you understand how far we
are from real truth.
Lies are always harmful to all living
things.
No person is without sin; no person is
completely truthful. It is not that one person is virtuous and truthful and
another is sinful and deceitful; rather it's that one person strives to move
toward truth and virtue and the other does not.
