Truth is always consistent with itself and needs nothing to help it out; it always is near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware; whereas a lie is troublesome, & sets a man's invention upon the rack; and one trick needs a great many more to make it good. August 26: 1777.
