Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

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

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

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

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 happiness of society is the end of government.

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

There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.

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

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

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

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

Strive always to excel in virtue and 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.

Peace is always beautiful.

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.

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

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.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

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