Truth lives in the cellar, error on the doorstep.
The fact that you have been knocked down is interesting, but the length of time you remained down is important.

It is twice as hard to crush a half-truth as a whole lie.
Patience has tender feet.
The living have their eyes opened by closing the eyes of the dead.
