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

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

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.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

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

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

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.

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

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

If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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

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..

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.
