Truth Needs No Assistance

By Addison

TRUTH is always consistent with itself and needs nothing to help it out. It is always near at hand, sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware. A lie is troublesome, and sets a man's invention on the rack, and one trick needs a great many more to make it good. It is building upon a false foundation, which continually stands in need of props to shove it up; and proves at last more chargeable than to have raised a substantial building at first upon a true and solid foundation.—Addison.
