Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

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

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

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

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

The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.

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

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

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

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

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

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

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.

Peace is always beautiful.

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

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

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

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

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