"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place." - H. L. Mencken.
"But the whole thing, after all, may be put very simply. I believe it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than to be ignorant." - H.L. Mencken.
