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

It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.

It takes a certain ingenuous faith- but I have it -to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

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

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

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.

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

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

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

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.

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

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

The truth is more important than the facts.

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

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

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

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