The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.
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.
A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.
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.
Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist
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.
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.
Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.
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.
In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.
The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.
