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.

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

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 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.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

It is not truth that matters, but victory

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.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

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.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

Peace begins with a smile..

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
