If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

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

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.

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.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

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

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

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

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.

Peace is always beautiful.

If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

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

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

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

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

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.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.
