Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
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.
If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist
A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.
The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.
When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.
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.
The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
