Seeking Truth

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it. (Andre Gide) There's more to the truth than just the facts. (Author Unknown) So how do we go about seeking the Truth?
Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter.
"
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop". (Lewis Carrol)
How will we know the truth when we find it?
The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer. (Edward R. Murrow) The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself. (Bertrand Russell) Men are probably nearer the central truth in their superstitions than in their science. (Henry David Thoreau)
The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. (Niels Bohr)
It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers. (James Thurber) To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday. (John Burroughs)
We become aware of the void as we fill it. (Antonio Porchia) You can see a lot by just looking. (Yogi Berra)
The truth is that there is no one Truth; it is each individual's journey.
