A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

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

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.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

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

Love truth, but pardon error.

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

A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for 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.

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

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

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

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

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

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

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

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.

Peace is always beautiful.
