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

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

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

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.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

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.

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

Peace begins with a smile..

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

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

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

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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

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

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

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.

I quote others only to better express myself.
