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.

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.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

Love truth, but pardon error.

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

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

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

No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

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.

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

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

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

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.

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

Peace is always beautiful.

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

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

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.
