I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false is guilty of falsehood, and the accidental truth of the assertion does not justify or excuse him.
Abraham Lincoln
Never chase a lie. Let it alone, and it will run itself to death.
Lyman Beecher
Proneness to exaggerate, to suppress or modify the truth, wittingly or unwittingly, is a natural weakness of man, and silence is necessary in order to surmount it. A man of few words will rarely be thoughtless in his speech; he will measure every word.
Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi
It is better to have a thief than a liar working for you, because at least you can watch a thief.
Larry Winget

Trickery and treachery are the practices of fools that have not the wits enough to be honest.
Benjamin Franklin
Honesty is more than telling the truth. It means not keeping secrets. Not only does secrecy isolate people from each other, but when you're hiding something, it's rarely good. It's usually something about which you are embarrassed or ashamed. It is a weakness.
