It is not truth that matters, but victory

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

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

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.

It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.

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

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

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

The truth is more important than the facts.

Truth is a tendency.

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

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.
