Confusion now hath his masterpiece!

What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best, which I believed then and believe now, is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that, success found me.

Affirmation is an internal positive statement that supports an external outcome.

You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.

There are only two kinds of people, those who accept dogmas and know it, and those who accept dogmas and don't know it.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

False leaders create followers by lying.

The quick pain of truth can pass away, but the slow eating agony of a lie is never lost.

I have met men who are habitual liars. They have lied so long that they no longer can distinguish between the truth and a lie. Their sensitivity to sin has been almost completely deadened.

The liar is no better than the thief, and if his mendacity takes the form of slander he may be worse than most thieves. It puts a premium upon knavery untruthfully to attack an honest man, or even with hysterical exaggeration to assail a bad man with untruth.

If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.

It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

And even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as honest man can be tortured into telling a life.

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul.

It wasn't until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say "I don't know."

But all my life through, the very insistence on truth has taught me to appreciate the beauty of compromise.

We know how to speak many falsehoods which resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.

The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.

None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.

Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.
