Children and fooles speake true.

John Lyly

A good heart cannot lye

George Herbert

A sweet attractive kind of grace, A full assurance given by looks, Continual comfort in a face, The lineaments of Gospel books-- I trow that countenance cannot lye Whose thoughts are legible in the eye.

Edmund Spenser

If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband's family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick. . . But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn't she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye?

Lisa See

We are fooles one to another.

George Herbert

Fooles give to please all but their owne.

George Herbert

To the counsell of fooles a woodden bell.

George Herbert

A fooles bolt is soone shot.

John Heywood

Lawyers houses are built on the heads of fooles.

George Herbert

If fooles should not foole it, they shall lose their season.

George Herbert

Were there no fooles, badd ware would not passe.

George Herbert

I cannot see him. I cannot have a relationship with my father and be morally consistent... I lived with all these adopted children, so they are my family. To say Soon-Yi was not my sister is an insult to all adopted children.
