Homer on Honesty

3 quotes

Who dares think one thing, and another tell,
My heart detests him as the gates of hell.

Iliad (-750)

Urge him with truth to frame his fair replies;
And sure he will; for wisdom never lies.

Hateful to me as are the gates of hell,
Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart,
Utters another.
