A man calumniated is doubly injured - first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.
Herodotus
Calumny is only the noise of madmen.
Diogenes of Sinope
I have much to say why my reputation should be rescued from the load of false accusation and calumny which has been heaped upon it.
Robert Emmet
It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny.
Mary Stewart
There is something mean in human nature that prefers to think evil, that gives a willing ear and a ready welcome to calumny, a sort of jealousy of goodness and greatness and things of good report.
Richard Le Gallienne
