Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

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

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

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

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.

How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.

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

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

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.

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

Truth is a tendency.

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

I quote others only to better express myself.

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

If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.

Peace is not something you wish for; it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
