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

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

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

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

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

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the 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.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

It isn't enough to talk about peace; one must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it; one must work at it.

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

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

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

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

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.

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