Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

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.

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

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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

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