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

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

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

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.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

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

Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.

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.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

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

Truth is a tendency.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.

It is not truth that matters, but victory

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.

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

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

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

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