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

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

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

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

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

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 suffers from too much analysis.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.

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

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

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

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

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