Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

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

It takes a certain ingenuous faith- but I have it -to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.

If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.

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

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

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

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

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

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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

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

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

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

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

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.

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

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

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.
