Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.

The liar is no whit better than the thief, and if his mendacity takes the form of slander he may be worse than most thieves. It puts a premium upon knavery untruthfully to attack an honest man, or even with hysterical exaggeration to assail a bad man with untruth.
