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

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

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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

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

There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.

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

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

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

Truth is a tendency.

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.

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

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

Love truth, but pardon error.

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

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

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

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

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

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
