The truth is more important than the facts.
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of 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.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
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.
There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.
If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.
Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist
The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.
