Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

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

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

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

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

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.

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

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

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.

Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.

I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

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

It takes a certain ingenuous faith- but I have it -to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.

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

Peace begins with a smile..
