"We must confess that our adversaries have a marked advantage over us in the discussion. In very few words they can announce a half-truth; and in order to demonstrate that it is incomplete, we are obliged to have recourse to long and dry dissertations."
— Frédéric Bastiat, Economic Sophisms, First Series (1845)

"While we were waiting for the bus, I asked my stepdaughter where the money from the box was. Her first reaction was to feign confusion. 'What money?!?' She asked."
My stepdaughter lied to me and it led to a much deeper life lesson in which I think we can all use a refresher: telling the truth.
