"It is of great importance to set
a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so
mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie
once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length
it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without
the world's believing him."
--Thomas Jefferson (1785)
