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.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

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.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

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

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.

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.

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

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

It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

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

Love truth, but pardon error.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace

I quote others only to better express myself.

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