Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.
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.
A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.
I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.
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.
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
Love truth, but pardon error.
One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.
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.
Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.
If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.
There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
