“ It is for slaves to lie, and for freemen to speak truth.

“In the examples, which I here bring in, of what I have heard, read,
done, or said, I have forbid myself to dare to alter even the most light
and indifferent circumstances. My conscience does not falsify one tittle.
What my ignorance may do, I cannot say.”

MONTAIGNE.
