Never let the most well-intended falsehood escape your lips; for
Heaven, which is entirely Truth, will make the seed which you have
sown of untruth to yield miseries a thousandfold.
--Charles Lamb.

reporting truly is a form of health that has to be distinctly
guarded, and as an ancient rabbi has solemnly said, "The penalty of
untruth is untruth."
--George Eliot.
The bat hangs upside down and laughs at a topsy-turvy world.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever;
But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
--Proverbs 12. 19.
Lord God, give me the will to hold to the truth and the strength to
help keep the world true; and may I help others to look up and catch
the truth from the purest light. Amen.
