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

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

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

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

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

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.

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

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

No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

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

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

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.

The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.

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

Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.

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