It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

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

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

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

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

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

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

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.

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.

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