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

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

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

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

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

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

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

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

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

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.
