It is better to fall on a slippery floor than because of words. Evildoers will fall suddenly. Inappropriate words mark dumb and ill-bred people. Even if a fool says something right, he will fail because he has said it at the wrong time. A lie is a foul blot in a man, and it will be continually in the mouth of the ignorant. A man who lies continuously is worse than a thief, but they will both come to the gallows. The disposition of a liar is dishonor, and his shameful behavior will never cease.
