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 matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

Truth is a tendency.

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

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.

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

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

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

The truth is more important than the facts.

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

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.

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.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

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

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.

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

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.

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

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.
