.....It is a great deal easier to set a story afloat than to stop it. If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly: it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, "A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on."
..........— Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92), sermon delivered on Sunday morning, April 1, 1855.
