False

Famous quotes containing the word false:

    There is none who does not lie hourly in the respect he pays to false appearance.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Love is too prone to trust. Would I could think
    My charges false and all too rashly made.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true. Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us and we know not where to set them right.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
