From the library
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
Full fathom five thy father lies; of his bones are coral made.
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
Doubt thou the stars are fire; doubt that the sun doth move; doubt truth to be a liar; but never doubt I love.
A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
