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

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.

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

A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.

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.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.

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

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.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.

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

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.

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

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.
