Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.
Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie.
Nobody speaks the truth when there's something they must have.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
Confusion is always the most honest response.
An error can never become true however many times you repeat it. The truth can never be wrong, even if no one hears it.
Anything that has real and lasting value is always a gift from within.
Be not so bigoted to any custom as to worship it at the expense of truth.
