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

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

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.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

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.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

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 AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

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

I quote others only to better express myself.

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

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

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.

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

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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.

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