No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar. ~Abraham Lincoln
A half truth is a whole lie.
Those who think it is permissible to tell white lies soon grow color-blind.
With lies you may get ahead in the world - but you can never go back.
Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.
The hardest tumble a man can make is to fall over his own bluff.
A lie has speed, but truth has endurance.
When you stretch the truth, watch out for the snapback.
A lie may take care of the present, but it has no future.
Truth fears no questions.
Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling in the world is done by children.
The truth brings with it a great measure of absolution, always.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Respect for the truth is an acquired taste.
It is not without good reason said, that he who has not a good memory should never take upon him the trade of lying.
When truth is divided, errors multiply.
Truth is such a rare thing, it is delightful to tell it.
Honesty pays, but it don't seem to pay enough to suit some people.
The cruelest lies are often told in silence.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
