There is, it is said, as much untruth in calling a man friend, or neighbour, who is not so, as excellency, in whom there may be nothing that is excellent.
You will never hear anything but truth from me; prior habits render it out of my power to tell an untruth, but, unless carefully observed, I dare not promise that I should not, with regard to this detested poison, be capable of acting one. Not sixty hours have yet passed without my having taken laudanum, though, for the last week, comparatively trifling doses.

"I think there is a great deal of untruth spoken of mother's love, a great deal of misconception about it, as there is about most very strange, and very wonderful and beautiful things.

When life is at risk, or on occasion of marriage, one may say an untruth. One that seeks for virtue, does not commit a sin by saying an untruth, if that untruth be said to save the wealth and prosperity of others or for the religious purposes. Having promised to pay, one becomes bound to fulfil his promise. Upon failure, let the self-appropriator be forcibly enslaved.
The best you can ask for me is that sometime I shall become what you believed me to be the day you came to me at Scoerstan." She tried to tell him that she believed him that now, but something in her forbade the untruth. She could do no more than leave him, with a mute gesture of farewell.

Since, then, there is a difference between the sensation and the external subject, the belief must either remain in the sensation, or else if it maintains the being in addition to the appearing be reproved and convinced of untruth.
I have never yet known an Elmwood Hall lad to tell an untruth!" and the doctor drew himself up proudly. "Therefore, I believe you, Tom," he went on, "but I am in duty bound to point out to you that many will believe you had a hand in this unless unless you can account for your sweater being worn by someone else, on the night in question, near the farm.
