I read it and thought isn't that in itself a claim to truth?

I think my truth is always evolving, so to claim I know the truth would make that evolution stop.

I think that's a good point (or two), Nev, and I like what runner said.

Reminds me of the item: If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him.

Also, lyrics from Kansas, Carry on Wayward Son. If I claim to be a wise man it surely means I don't know.

-The truth is determinate on your relative relation to something else.

I'd agree with it... it makes a lot of sense to me.

I don't interpret it as saying the people who think they have the truth do not, but rather that "the truth" is what you discover through your own personal journey. That if you only turn to people who think they've completed their journey, you will never embark upon your own. Instead, you will adopt the truth of another person, but in doing so will lack the understanding or experiences to truly make sense of that person's truth. The result being you never find your truth.
