Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

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

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

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

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

The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.

Love truth, but pardon error.

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

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

To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.

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

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

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.

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

Peace begins with a smile..

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

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.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
