Platitudes? Yes, there are platitudes. Platitudes are there because they are true.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

Many people look at me and think they know me but they don’t at all. This is the real me. I am a humble person, a feeling person. A person who cares about others, who wants to help others.

No such thing as a man willing to be honest – that would be like a blind man willing to see.

I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that’s it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called ‚The Truth‘.

Can the mind see the truth of its own incapacity to know the unknown? Surely if I see very clearly that my mind cannot know the unknown, there is absolute quietness.

My goal was never to make Facebook cool. I am not a cool person.

If an eloquent speaker speak not the truth, is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?

Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

Everyone assumes I practise all of my own laws but I don’t. I think anybody who did would be a horrible ugly person to be around.

The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.

I’m not going to make a song just to make a song. The day that I make an album, it’s so that people really know what Bad Bunny’s about.

I have all the emotions that everyone has; it just appears that I don’t.

Silence is the mother of truth.

People react to fear, not love; they don’t teach that in Sunday School, but it’s true.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It’s still the same emotions.

If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.

If you only believe that you’re an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that’s quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.

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

In assisting his ‚neighbour‘ every day to the best of his ability, and keeping truth, honesty, and kindness perpetually before him, the Boy Scout, with as little formality as possible, is pleasing God.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

I never do anything that I don’t want to do.

I don’t believe in endorsing a product that you don’t want to endorse.

I can’t pretend that I’m brave and that I can beat the whole world.

I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: ‚This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.‘ Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

I will never say something I don’t agree with or believe in… even if the reward is massive!

I’ve never been one to sit back and go, ‚I’d better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don’t want to lose them.‘

Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency.

It’s hard to practice compassion when we’re struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

We call first truths those we discover after all the others.

The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it – basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.

When I worked on a magazine, I learned that there are many, many writers writing that can’t write at all; and they keep on writing all the cliches and bromides and 1890 plots, and poems about Spring and poems about Love, and poems they think are modern because they are done in slang or staccato style, or written with all the ‚i’s‘ small.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I’ve done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it’s nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

Always be sincere, even if you don’t mean it.

When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder.

I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There’s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

Piety requires us to honor truth above our friends.

I think that I do feel that my nature is to express what this self, this particular self at this time, experiences in the world. And that is so organic – I use this metaphor a lot but I’ll use it again – it’s like a pine tree producing pine cones, or a blackberry bush producing blackberries – it’s just what happens with this being, now.

To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!

Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.

Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.

We forfeit three-quarters of ourselves in order to be like other people.

The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect.

Because we’re actors we can pretend and fake it, but I’d rather the intimate investment was authentic.

People who say they don’t care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don’t care what people think.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

My life is real.

All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.

One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

I’ve just tried to grow up in the most natural and gradual process that I possibly can and make choices I feel are right for me and my fans.

The only thing I know is I ain’t changing my brand. I know what I believe. I’m confident in what I know. And I’m gonna say it. And if folks like it, wonderful. If they don’t like it, I understand.

The people who truly know me know what I’m like. There have been people who try to say things that aren’t fair, and I check them. And then they don’t like me because I checked them.
