It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

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

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

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.

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

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

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

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.

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

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.

Peace begins with a smile..

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

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

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

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

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

It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

Love truth, but pardon error.

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