If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
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.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
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.
Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.
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.
In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.
To be honest, one must be inconsistent.
Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.
A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.
How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.
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.
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.
