It is not true that 'we have only one life to live'; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

One universe made up all that is, and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.

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

The words of truth are simple.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

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

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

Conquer anger with non-anger. Conquer badness with goodness. Conquer meanness with generosity. Conquer dishonesty with truth.

When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.

The only way love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional. The truth is this: love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love.

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.

Half a truth is often a great lie.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

I do not care to know your various theories about God. What is the use of discussing all the subtle doctrines about the soul? Do good and be good. And this will take you to freedom and to whatever truth there is....

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you.

The truth is lived, not taught.

I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.
