It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
Truth is on the side of the oppressed.
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
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.
Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
Love truth, but pardon error.
It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
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.
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.
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.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.
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.
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.
Peace is always beautiful.
Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
