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

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

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

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.

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.

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

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

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

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

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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

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

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

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

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

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.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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

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

The happiness of society is the end of government.
