"One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground."
Baltasar Gracian
"Truth sits upon the lips of dying men."
Matthew Arnold
"All malice has injustice at it's end, an end achieved by violence or by fraud; while both are sins that earn the hate of heaven, since fraud belongs exclusively to man, God hates it more and, therefore, far below, the fraudulent are placed and suffer most."
Dante Alighieri
"Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit."
Edward R. Murrow
"I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs."
Samuel Goldwyn
"Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty."
Tacitus
"Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened."
Winston Churchill
"False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil."
Plato
"Though I am not naturally honest, I am sometimes by chance."
William Shakespeare
"A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar."
Mark Twain
"The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one."
Henry Mencken
"Great liars are also great magicians."
Adolf Hitler
"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place."
Henry Mencken
"This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
William Shakespeare
"It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime."
Thomas Paine
"In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."
Winston Churchill
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
Winston Churchill
"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions."
GK Chesterton
"Truth is sacred; and if you tell the truth too often nobody will believe it."
GK Chesterton
