Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

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

It is not truth that matters, but victory

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The truth is more important than the facts.

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

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

Truth is a tendency.

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

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

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

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.

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.
