The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.

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

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

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

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.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

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.

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

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.

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

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

Adversity is the first path to truth.

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
