“Slander is the tool of cowards.”
Vanna Bonta
“Slander reveals the greatest truth about the coward implementing it.”
“The evils of the body are, murder, theft, and adultery; of the tongue, lying, slander, abuse, and idle talk; of the mind, covetousness, hatred, and error.”
Buddha
“What man ever openly apologizes for slander? It is not so much a feeling of slander as it is that of a massive lie, a misdeed not only to the slandered but also to those manipulated in the process. He has made them all, every one, his enemies, thereupon he is so overwhelmed with guilt that he will deny it until his grave.”
Criss Jami
“Bearing false witness is not just one of the Ten Commandments. The Bible has numerously repeated warnings against slander, false testimony and just plain old lying. Interestingly, it has been a socially acceptable form of oppressing minorities and the poor for centuries: slander, sensationalism, hearsay, innuendo, half-truths, insinuations, rumors, myth, and outright lies. We should learn these words, and call it what it really is . . .”
Mike E. Knezevich, Jr.
“Slander is the only way some have of feeling close to accomplishment.”
“If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water's edge''”
