Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

Of all the animals, man is the only one that lies.

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

The machinery of propaganda may pack their minds with falsehood and deny them truth for many generations of time. But the soul of man thus held in trance, or frozen in a long night, can be awakened by a spark coming from God knows where, and in a moment the whole structure of lies and oppression is on trial for its life.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
