Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
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.
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.
It is not truth that matters, but victory
Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.
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.
Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.
In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.
Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
It takes a certain ingenuous faith- but I have it -to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.
Truth is a tendency.
Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.
