It's easier to change your mind then it is to change the world - Mother Theresa

Truisms are an odd thing. What makes little sayings like the above quote true? What makes them sound true?

Why do you ask for information if you claim to not believe any of it is true?

But you don't accept what most people view as evidence. How can you be proven wrong if you disregard evidence?

What kind of evidence are we talking here?

In what way are truisms odd?

In order to answer the questions in the OP, am I to believe that something makes little sayings like the above quote true? That, something makes them sound true? Does the saying above seem true to you?

I think it is true because your mind is vastly smaller than the world, it is also closer to you and connected directly to you (or IS you) so any change of anything else in the world probably requires you to change your mind.

"Does the saying above seem true to you?"

I don't know what it means for something to sound true. For me the quote is just funny because I made it up and attributed it to mother theresa. I don't know if she would have ever said that.

She was been quoted as saying this:

"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."
— Mother Teresa


--------------------
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
