The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.

Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Peace is always beautiful.

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

Love truth, but pardon error.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.
