Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

    Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    A statesman is an easy man,
    He tells his lies by rote;
    A journalist makes up his lies
    And takes you by the throat;
    So stay at home and drink your beer
    And let the neighbours vote.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Whoever lies with an animal shall be put to death.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 22:19.
