- Underwood Dudley

"I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him."

- Abraham Lincoln, Letter to Allen N. Ford, August 11, 1846
