Plato A lie does not consist in the indirect position of words, but in the desire and intention, by false speaking, to deceive and injure your neighbour. Jonathan Swift It's a complete lie, why do people buy these papers? It's not the truth I'm here to say. You know, don't judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don't care what the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie. Michael Jackson That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not. Thomas Paine It's a lie, but Heaven will forgive you for it. Stephen Leacock Love always creates, it never destroys. In this lie's man's only promise. Leo Buscaglia The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits; it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits. Leo Tolstoy I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms. Voltaire An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded. Pope John Paul II The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education. Plutarch The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep. Woody Allen To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor. Oliver Wendell Holmes The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. Lucille Ball A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies. Alfred Lord Tennyson Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie. Horace Walpole A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Charles Spurgeon If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it. Epictetus Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in. Harry S. Truman By a lie, a man... annihilates his dignity as a man. Immanuel Kant A lie told often enough becomes the truth. Vladimir Lenin |
