It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

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

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.

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

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

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.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

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

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

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.

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

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.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

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