“So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.”
“He who has once deviated from the truth, usually commits perjury with as little scruple as he would tell a lie. [Lat., Qui semel a veritate deflexit, hic non majore religione ad perjurium quam ad mendacium perduci consuevit.]”
“A good man will not lie, although it be for his profit.”
“No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy.”
