Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

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

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

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

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

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.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

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

The victor will never be asked if he told 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.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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

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.

The truth is more important than the facts.

If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.
