Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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

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.

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

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

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

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.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
