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

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.

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

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

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

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

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

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.

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

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.

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

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.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

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.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

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