Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

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

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

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.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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