Perjury Quotations

Perhaps he will start to champion perjury statutes and obstruction of justice. Barbara Olson The tongue may be employed about, and made to serve all the purposes of vice, in tempting and deceiving, in perjury and injustice. Joseph Butler There is no excuse for perjury - never, never, never. There is truth, and the truth demands respect. Kenneth Starr No one is above the law, not even the president.
