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

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

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

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.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

Truth is a tendency.

It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

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

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

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

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.

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

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

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

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

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

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

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