A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

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.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

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

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.

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

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
