Never Trifle with Truth

NEVER trifle with truth. A lie is bad, not only because it may lead others astray, but also because it is a fault in the character of the one who utters it. Truth is the foundation and substance of character. When a man becomes a liar, his character is gone. His whole life is out of joint. No one can trust him. He can not trust himself. He is like a bridge with a rotten foundation. He is not safe. He is an unsafe friend, an unsafe neighbor, an unsafe business man. "Buy the truth, and sell it not." —Selected.
