Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

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.

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

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

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

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

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

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.

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

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.

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

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

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.

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.

Love truth, but pardon error.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

Peace begins with a smile..
