Of lies false modesty ordsprog
Of lies, false modesty is the most decent
Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.

I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it...

These statements are false, and not only are they false, they're just malicious lies, ... They're very hurtful to me, they're very hurtful to my wife, they're very hurtful to my family -- all the people I've worked so hard to believe in me.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
