Truth…
“If you tell the truth, you never have to remember what you said.”
Mark Twain 1875
“If you tell a lie, you ALWAYS have to remember what you said.”
“The truth hurts for a short time. A lie hurts forever”
“The truth will set you free.”
“I cannot tell a lie” George Washington at age 4
“It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.” George Washington at age 44
“The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Oath sworn when testifying in court — with one hand on the bible – and people still lie. Perjury means jail, and people still lie.
What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”
Sir Walter Scott 1799
