The happiness of society is the end of government.

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

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

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

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.

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

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.

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

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 truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.

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

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

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.

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

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
