• "Thou shalt not bear false witness" Exodus 20:16. When we speak of morality, we imply that a man is true to his word-true to his signature on a contract. The violations of God's laws are evidence that lying and misrepresentation are not absent from us.

• It should be noted that people in the free market rarely bear false witness; integrity is the rule. The morning mile, phone calls, planes the airlines buy, autos by the millions - no one could list the instances - are as represented. We have daily, eloquent, enormous testimony that the Ten Commandments can be and are observed by fallible human beings. Contemporary politics is the most glaring of all exceptions.

• The Christians do not commit adultery. They do not bear false witness. They do not covet their neighbor's goods. They honor father and mother. They love their neighbors. They judge justly. They avoid doing to others what they do not wish done to them. They do good to their enemies. They are kind.

• El Creador del hombre se hizo hombre para que Él, Gobernante de las estrellas, se amamantara en el seno de su madre; para que el Pan tuviera hambre, la Fuente sed, la Luz sueño, el Camino se cansara en su viaje; para que la Verdad fuera acusada de falsos testigos, el Maestro azotado, el Fundamento suspendido sobre maderos; para que la Fuerza se debilitara; para que el Sanador fuera herido; para que la Vida muriera.

• Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests of society require the observation of those moral precepts only in which all religions agree (for all forbid us to steal, murder, plunder, or bear false witness), and that we should not intermeddle with the particular dogmas in which all religions differ, and which are totally unconnected with morality.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

  Pablo Apóstol

• En ningún pasaje de los santos libros canónicos se encuentra precepto divino o permiso alguno para quitarnos la vida, ya sea para entrar en el goce de la inmortalidad, o para rehuir o librarnos de cualquier cosa. Es más, la ley, correctamente interpretada, prohíbe incluso el suicidio, cuando dice: "No matarás". Esto se prueba especialmente por la omisión de las palabras "tu prójimo", que se insertan cuando se prohíbe el falso testimonio.

  Saint Augustine

• As witnesses not of our intentions but of our conduct, we can be true or false, and the hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

  Hannah Arendt
