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

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.

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

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I quote others only to better express myself.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

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

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

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

Truth is a tendency.

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.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

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

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

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

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

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