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

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

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

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

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

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

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.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.

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

Truth is a tendency.

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

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

The truth is more important than the facts.

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.

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

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

No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

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

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