Against an oath

About This Quote

“To swear to truth is the highest of all oaths; for it binds him who swears to tell the truth, and obliges him to it.” Again, Shakespeare presents the idea of honesty. To lie is to break an oath, and lying is an act of breaking trust. Some people find themselves bound by oaths that they cannot keep, particularly vows made to God. Because of this, some people do not believe that there is any way out of their oaths.
