“Justice will overtake fabricators of lies and false witnesses.”

“The centre of gravity of any parallelogram lies on the straight line joining the middle points of opposite sides.”

“Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.”

“The merit of all things lies in their difficulty.”

“The secret of boring people lies in telling them everything.”

“Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.”
