“Truth is a hard master, and costly to serve, but it simplifies all problems.”
“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”
“Happiness is a hard master--particularly other people's happiness. A much harder master, if one isn't conditioned to accept it unquestionably, than truth.”
“Peace if possible. Truth at all costs.”
“I had the need to be the good master, but definitely the master, no matter what the cost.”
“The truth is never absolute, and never as black and white as any of us might like. But that is the nature of the truth: serving none and serving all.”
