I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

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

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.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

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.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

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

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

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.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

It isn't enough to talk about peace; one must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it; one must work at it.

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

Peace is always beautiful.

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

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