Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Peace begins with a smile..

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

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

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

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

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

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

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

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.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else

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.

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.
