Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

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

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

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

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

Love truth, but pardon error.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.

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

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

I quote others only to better express myself.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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

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

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

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

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.

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

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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