Fraud and falsehood only dread examination. Truth invites it.

Among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehood which interests dictates and credulity encourages

Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

Why do you listen to falsehood? It shall vanish like a gust of wind.

Falsehood is a perennial spring.
