Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

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

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

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.

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

It takes a certain ingenuous faith- but I have it -to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

I quote others only to better express myself.

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

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

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

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

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