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

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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.

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.

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

There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Love truth, but pardon error.

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

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

Adversity is the first path to truth.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

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

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

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

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

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

Peace is always beautiful.

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