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.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell 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, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

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

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me 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.

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

The truth is more important than the facts.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

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

To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.

A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.

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.

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.

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

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

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