Veteran diamantaire Kirtilal K. Doshi has recently published a new compilation of inspirational sayings and quotable quotes collected by him over the last few decades. The book, entitled ‘Truth & Wisdom’, is the fifth such publication that he has brought out in recent years. The first four have been published in English and Gujarati.

Better known for his roles as the Chairman Emeritus of Shrenuj & Co Ltd and also Gemmological Institute of India and President of Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya Trust, Kirtibhai is a respected intellectual who has been pursuing his passion in this field ever since he passed on the running of the business to his son and grandson.

Kirtibhai says in the Preface, “The present compilation is a continuation of my intentions to share my collection of quotes over the past seven decades..... In my experience in the corporate world of ovver 75 years and counting, I have been positively influenced by many of these great quotations.”

He stresses the importance of sharing knowledge.”Knowledge is fluid”, he writes, adding, “while we perceive it to be static, it always flows from one mind to another”. He goes on to describe it as a catalyst, saying that the presence of knowledge accelerates the process of acquiring more.
In conclusion he says, “This book is not meant to be a solution to any problems. Nor is it a reference for making good speeches. It is intended to be a key to unlock your mind’s potential.”
