It is not truth that matters, but victory

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.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

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

I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

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.

Strive always to excel in virtue 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.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

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

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.

I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.

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

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.

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

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