| Chapter 19 : do not commit perjury 01 Do not go to court before an official 02 in order to falsify your words. 03 Do not vacillate in your answers, 04 when your witnesses accuse. 05 Do not labour (with) oaths by your Lord, 06 (with) speeches at the hearing. 07 TeIl the truth before the official, 08 lest he lay a hand on You. 09 If another day You come before him, 10 he will incline to all You say, 11 he will relate your speech to the Council of Thirty, (and) 12 it will be observed on another occasion. |

| It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war...but the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts, -- for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments...for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free. |
| ~ Woodrow Wilson ---Address to a Joint Session of Congress, April 2, 1917 ~ |
