LIES/TRUTH

Truth stands the test of time; lies are soon exposed. An honest witness tells the truth; a false witness tells lies.

Proverbs 12:19, 17

A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is a traitor.

Proverbs 14:25

A wise person is hungry for truth, while the fool feeds on trash.

Proverbs 15:14

Telling lies about others is as harmful as hitting them with an ax, wounding them with a sword, or shooting them with a sharp arrow.

Proverbs 25:18

No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar.

Abraham Lincoln

Some people tell the truth, and others say he’s in conference just now.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

You’re not pleasing me at all;

I know you cannot lie, forsooth,

But can’t you slightly bend the truth?

Nora B. Kathrins

You don’t need such a good memory if you always speak the truth.

Truth is stubborn. It doesn’t apologize to anyone.

He who is a liar needs a good memory.

Truth is not always popular, but it is always right.

I don’t want any yes-men around me. I want everyone to tell me the truth—even though it costs him his job.

Samuel Goldwyn

Truth has only to exchange hands a few times to become fiction.

Stretching the truth won’t make it last any longer.

If you ever have something bad to say about anybody, be sure the answer to these three questions is yes before you say it. Is it true? Is it just? Will it do anybody any good to say it?

Show me a liar, and I’ll show you a thief.

French Proverb

The biggest liar in the world is “they say.”

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

Mark Twain
