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.

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

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

I quote others only to better express myself.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Peace begins with a smile..

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.

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

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

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