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

Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.

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

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

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

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.

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

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

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

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

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

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

The victor will never be asked if he told the 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.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

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.

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

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

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.
