He who cannot lie does not know what the truth is
There is nothing in the world more shameful than establishing one's self on lies and fables
I do myself a greater injury in lying than I do him of whom I tell a lie
Who is not sure of his memory should not attempt lying
He who permits himself to tell a lie once finds it much easier to do it a second and third time till at length it becomes habitual.
That a lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies;
That a lie which is all a lie may be met and fought with outright;
But a lie which is part a truth is a harder matter to fight.
That a lie which is all a lie may be met and fought with outright;
But a lie which is part a truth is a harder matter to fight.
