“To the rulers of the state then, if to any, it belongs of right to use falsehood, to deceive either enemies or their own citizens, for the good of the state: and no one else may meddle with this privilege.”

“You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear.”
