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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Peace is always beautiful.

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

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.

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

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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

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

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

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

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

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

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

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.
