There Is Nothing Which So Poisons Princes

I See Men Ordinarily More Eager To Discover A Reason For Things Than To Find Out Whether The Things Are So.

What Of A Truth That Is Bounded By These Mountains And Is Falsehood To The World That Lives Beyond?

The Most Profound Joy Has More Of Gravity Than Of Gaiety In It.

Lying Is A Disgraceful Vice, And One That Plutarch Paints In Most Disgraceful Colors, When He Says That It Is "affording Testimony That One First Despises God, And Then Fears Men." It Is Not Possible More Happily To Describe Its Horrible, Disgusting, And Abandoned Nature; For Can We Imagine Anything More Vile Than To Be Cowards With Regard To Men, And Brave With Regard To God.

How Often, Being Moved Under A False Cause, If The Person Offending Makes A Good Defense And Presents Us With A Just Excuse, Are We Angry Against Truth And Innocence Itself?
