Nothing is as old as the truth and nothing is as new as the truth.
There is nothing more subtle or simpler than truth.

All men are equal in truth, not in fact.
Fact is to be observed in action and truth in realization.
You cannot live truth; you can realize it.
The realization of truth is the greatest luxury.
Fact is a covering over truth. Fact is the illusion of truth.
Fact or no fact, truth proves and disproves all.
Facts lose their color in the face of truth, as stars pale before the sun.

He who knows not the truth is a child;
he who is seeking truth is a youth;
but he who has found truth is an old soul.

Truth is not acquired but discovered.
Truth conceived by the nature soul is expressed as wisdom.
Truth, sincerely spoken, must certainly calm the heart of the listener.
Truth is a divine inheritance found in the depth of every human heart.
The first lesson that the seeker after truth must learn
is to be true to himself.

Many say they tell the truth,
but few there are who know the truth.
It is no use saying you know the truth;
if you knew the truth, you would keep silent.
The knowers of truth close their lips,
for they can neither say one thing nor another
from the point of view of absolute truth.
Truth is purifying, it is most lovable and peace-giving;
but what is truth?
Truth is that which cannot be spoken.
Truth cannot be put into words.
It must be seen in the light of our own intuition.
Truth is the light which illuminates the whole of life;
in its light all things become clear,
and their true nature manifests to view.

Before you can know the truth you must learn to live a true life.
No sooner is the God-ideal brought to life
than the worshipper of God turns into truth.
Truth is the evidence of God, and God is the evidence of truth.
Then truth is no longer his seeking; truth becomes his being;
and in the light of that absolute truth he finds all knowledge.
Make God a reality, and God will make you the truth.

When we are face to face with truth, the point of view
of Krishna, Buddha, Christ, or any other Prophet, is the same.
When we look at life from the top of the mountain,
there is no limitation; there is the same immensity.
The seas and rivers and streams have many names,
but they all contain water; and religions have various names,
but they all contain the same truth
expressed in different forms at different times.
I think the knower of the truth will find truth in the symbols
of the Roman Catholic Church,
and will find the same truth in the absence
of symbols in the Protestant Church.

What is religion?
In the outer sense of the word, a form given for the worship of God,
a law given to the community that it may live harmoniously.
And what does religion mean in the inner sense of the word?
It means a staircase made for the soul to climb to that plane
where truth is realized.
The true religion, to the Sufi, is the sea of truth,
and all different faiths are as its waves.
