No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

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

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

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

It is not truth that matters, but victory

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

I quote others only to better express myself.

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

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.

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.

Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.

To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.
