truth liars lying
Even a liar tells a hundred truths to one lie; he has to, to make the lie good for anything.
strength strong lying
It is not when the cable lies coiled up on the deck that you know how strong or how weak it is; it is when it is put to the test.
lying white black
There is no such thing as white lies; a lie is as black as a coalpit, and twice as foul.
lying needs handle
A lie always needs a truth for a handle to it.
patience lying blow
There is no such thing as preaching patience into people, unless the sermon is so long that they have to practice it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurlyburly world, and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying to, and riding out the gale.
truth lying men
I would rather speak the truth to ten men than blandishments and lying to a million. Try it, ye who think there is nothing in it! Try what it is to speak with God behind you, to speak so as to be only the arrow in the bow which the Almighty draws.
lying men order
Nothing is orderly till man takes hold of it. Everything in creation lies around loose.
lying flower thinking
Some people think black is the color of heaven, and that the more they can make their faces look like midnight, the more evidence they have of grace. But God, who made the sun and the flowers, never sent me to proclaim to you such a lie as that.
christian lying men
Men judge of Christians by taking as fair samples those that lie rotten on the ground.
money lying men
Money in the hands of one or two men is like a dungheap in a barnyard. So long as it lies in a mass, it does no good; but, if it is only spread out evenly on the land, everything will grow.
lying men roots
There is no right more universal and more sacred, because lying so near the root of existence, than the right of men to their own labor.
lying character littles
Little lies are very dangerous, because there are so many of them, and because each one of them scours upon the character as diamond-pointed.
liars lying helping
There never was a liar that had not a spot in him where he could not help admiring truth.
lying needs blades
A lie always needs a truth for a handle to it. The worst lies are those whose blade is false, but whose handle is true.
