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.

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.

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.

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

Truth is a tendency.

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.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

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

It is not truth that matters, but victory

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

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

I quote others only to better express myself.

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

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.

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.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.
