Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.
No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
There is nothing so powerful as truth - and often nothing so strange.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
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.
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.
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.
Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.
Truth is on the side of the oppressed.
In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.
I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.
