The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

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

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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.

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

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

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

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.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

I quote others only to better express myself.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.

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

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

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

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

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

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