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

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.

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.

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

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Adversity is the first path to truth.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

It is not truth that matters, but victory

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

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.

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

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

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

Love truth, but pardon error.

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

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

Truth is a tendency.

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.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
