I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.
The truth is more important than the facts.
Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.
It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.
The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.
A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
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.
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist
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.
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.
Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
It isn't enough to talk about peace; one must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it; one must work at it.
Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.
Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.
