There is no possible excuse for a guarded lie. Enthusiastic and impulsive people will sometimes falsify thoughtlessly, but equivocation is malice prepense. - Hosea Ballou A sudden lie may be sometimes only manslaughter upon truth; but by a carefully constructed equivocation, truth always is with malice aforethought deliberately murdered. - Christopher Darlington Morley Equivocation is half-way to lying, and lying the whole way to hell. - William Penn But yet,-- I do not like but yet, it does allay The good precedence; fye upon but yet; But yet is as a gaoler to bring forth Some monstrous malefactor. - William Shakespeare Faith, here's an equivocator, that could swear in both the scales against either scale; who committed treason enough for God's sake, yet could not equivocate to heaven. - William Shakespeare To doubt the Equivocation of the fiend, That lies like truth: Fear not, till Birnam wood Do come to Dunsinane. - William Shakespeare
