Adversity is the first path to truth.
The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
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.
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.
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.
A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.
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.
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Truth is a tendency.

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.
Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.
Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
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.
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.
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
