Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.

Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II.

People never lie so much as after a hunt during a war or before an election.

Think of what happened after 9/11 the minute before there was any assessment there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq and so the war drums beat.

Every war when it comes or before it comes is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

This truth is a remedy against spiritual pride namely that none should account himself better before God than others though perhaps adorned with greater gifts and endowments.

I perceived how that it was impossible to establish the lay people in any truth except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in their mother tongue.

Reclaiming the word 'fat' was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth because the truth is that I am fat and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat I agree whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.

Truth uttered before its time is always dangerous.

Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.

Always speak the truth think before you speak and write it down afterwards.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

Every truth has two sides it is as well to look at both before we commit ourselves to either.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Gentlemen I fervently trust that before long the principle of arbitration may win such confidence as to justify its extension to a wider field of international differences.
