It is a 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 third time,
till at length it becomes habitual,
he tells lies without attending to it, and
truths without the world's believing him.
This falsehood of the tongue leads to
that of the heart, and
in time depraves all it's good dispositions.
