Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

    Freedom of the press is essential to the preservation of a democracy; but there is a difference between freedom and license. Editorialists who tell downright lies in order to advance their own agendas do more to discredit the press than all the censors in the world.

    Here lies Jonson with the rest
    Of the poets; but the best.
    Reader, would’st thou more have known?
    Ask his story, not this stone.
    That will speak what this can’t tell
    Of his glory. So farewell.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
