Charles Caleb Colton Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: 1780 - 1832
Birthday: 1780
Death: 1832
There are many who say more than the truth on some occasions, and balance the account with their consciences by saying less than the truth on others. But the fact is that they are in both instances as fraudulant as he would be that exacted more than his due from his debtors, and paid less than their due to his creditors.
