  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    doth bring lies in favor;

    No difficulty. An easy act.
    People love lie.

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    it is not only the difficulty and labor, which men take in finding out of truth, nor again, that when it is found, it imposeth upon men's thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but a natural, though corrupt love, of the lie itself.

    Simple act. No hard work in lie. You get pleasure and delight

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    Certainly there be, that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting.
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    this same truth, is a naked, and open day-light

    Everything is clear.

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day;
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure.
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    yet truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or wooing of it, the knowledge of truth,
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.

    Quality of a good man who enjoys truth and learns from truth.

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below;

    Characteristics of lie given by Bacon

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    where it must first fill a pool.
