SLANDER QUOTES III

quotations about slander

As by flattery a man is usually brought to open his bosom to his mortal enemy, so by detraction, and a slanderous misreport of persons, he is often brought to shut the same even to his best and truest friends.

ROBERT SOUTH

Twelve Sermons


Murder, lies and slanders, 'cause they want to rule
Madmen and fools, they left a sea of running blood

A season of slander is a sure sign that you are up for a promotion.

JENNIFER LECLAIRE

"Spirit of Slander Is Raging Against Believers in This Season", Charisma News, February 26, 2016


For slander lives upon succession,
Forever housed where it gets possession.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Slanders issuing from red and beautiful lips, are like foul and ugly spiders crawling from the blushing heart of a rose.

GEORGE DENISON PRENTICE

Prenticeana: Or, Wit and Humor in Paragraphs


If men speak ill of you, so live that no one will believe their slanders.

CHRYSIPPUS

attributed, Day's Collacon


God of slander
I choose myself above all
Even though pain is my fortune
The poison that hits my body
Won't make me change my ways
In the end of day I'll lead my children by fire and ice
The world falls apart chaos among the gods
Death to us all

HELHEIM

"God of Slander"


Listen not to a tale-bearer or slanderer, for he tells thee nothing out of good will; but as he discovereth of the secrets of others, so he will of thine in turn.

SOCRATES

attributed, Day's Collacon


When squint-eyed Slander plies the unhallow'd tongue,
From poison'd maw when Treason weaves his line,
And Muse apostate (infamy to song!)
Grovels, low muttering, at Sedition's shrine.

JAMES BEATTIE

The Judgment of Paris


There is no cure against a slanderer's bite.

DANISH PROVERB


Slander is the solace of malignity.

Some of the Thoughts of Joseph Joubert

Tags: Joseph Joubert


Slander cannot make the subjects of it either better or worse, it may represent us in a false light, or place a likeness of us in a bad one, but we are the same: not so the slanderer; for calumny always makes the calumniator worse, but the calumniated--never.

CHARLES CALEB COLTON

Lacon


Some people are much too smart
They know everything before it starts
Eating wisdom with the pail
No wonder when it sticks
In your darkest hour
I will sing this song for you
Cry and tell and slander
Yell and grumble well
So loud for Heaven's sake

HELLOWEEN

"Pink Bubbles Go Ape"


Upon my tongues continual slanders ride,
The which in every language I pronounce,
Stuffing the ears of men with false reports

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Henry IV


If we can only speak to slander our betters, let us hold our tongues.

When the tongue of slander stings thee, let this be thy comfort--they are not the worst fruits on which the wasps alight.

GOTTFRIED AUGUST BÜRGER

Suggestive Thoughts on Religious Subjects: A Dictionary of Quotations and Selected Passages from the Best Writers, Ancient and Modern


Centuries of slander
Masked with opium slumbers
Aimed to control our essence
To breed and keep their hold with fear

DAKRUA

"Divine Masquerade"


Slander is a knife with no handle. It is murder with words, and it does wound the person who is slandered. But it cuts the slanderer himself even more deeply.

REBECCA HAMILTON

"Slander is Murder with Words", Patheos, October 18, 2013


Soft-buzzing Slander; silly moths that eat
An honest name.

He that utters slander is a fool too, for God will sooner or later bring forth that righteousness as the light which he endeavours to cloud, and will find an expedient to roll the reproach away.
