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.

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

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

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

Love truth, but pardon error.

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

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.

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

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

Peace begins with a smile..

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

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

A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

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

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.

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.

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

Truth is a tendency.

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