Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

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.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

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

I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.

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

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

It is not truth that matters, but victory

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

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

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

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

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

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

It isn't enough to talk about peace; one must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it; one must work at it.

A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.
