Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

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

I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

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.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

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

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

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

The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

It is not truth that matters, but victory

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