About This Quote

A person who speaks false words is very likely to be evil. The line “False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil” was written by Plato. If you tell a lie, you are infected with evil, just as if you told the truth, you are infected with good. When people talk about how good it is to be honest, they forget that honesty is good for the soul. It allows the soul to grow and to fight against evil.
