Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

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.

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

The truth is more important than the facts.

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

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

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

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

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

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.
