SCRIPTURE
"He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit." — Proverbs 12:17 (ASV)
The thought which lies below the surface is that of the inseparable union between truth and justice. The end does not justify the means, and only he who breathes and utters truth makes the righteous cause clear.
