Never throw mud. You may miss your mark, but you will have dirty hands.

Slander is the revenge of a coward, and dissimulation of his defense.

'Twas slander filled her mouth with lying words; Slander, the foulest whelp of Sin.

A slander is like a hornet; if you can't kill it dead the first time, better not strike at it.

The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as is the best fruit which the birds have been pecking at.

Have patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time; ere long she shall appear to vindicate thee.
