Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:

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

    “It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society.
