Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.

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

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.

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

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

Love truth, but pardon error.

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.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.

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

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

The truth is more important than the facts.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
