Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.

Say not, ‘I have found the truth,’ but rather, ‘I have found a truth.’

Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

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 is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.
