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

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.
Truth is a tendency.
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.
Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.
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.

I quote others only to better express myself.
Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.
