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

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

No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

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

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

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.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

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

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

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.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.

The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.

I quote others only to better express myself.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

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

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

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