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.

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

Peace begins with a smile..

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

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.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

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

There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

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

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

If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.

Truth is a tendency.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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

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.

A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

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

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.

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