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.
Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of 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.
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.
Peace begins with a smile..
I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.
There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.
If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Adversity is the first path to truth.
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.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
