Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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

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

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

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

I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

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.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else

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

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

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

It is not truth that matters, but victory

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

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.

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

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

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.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

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