The
trouble with lying and deceiving is that their
efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of
the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide.
In this sense, truth, even if it does not prevail in
public, possesses an ineradicable primacy over all
falsehoods.
-- Hannah Arendt

is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
-- Aristotle

The
least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied
later a thousandfold.
-- Aristotle

A
thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered,
nor false because spoken magnificently.
