One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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.

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

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.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

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

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

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

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

Peace is always beautiful.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

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

Love truth, but pardon error.

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