They say so is half a lie

Though a lie be well drest, it is ever overcome

Though a lie be swift, the truth overtakes it

You’ve made your bed, now lie in it

You made your bed, now lie in it

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar

Words are but wind, but seeing is believing

Those who live on lies choke on truth

What children hear at home, soon flies abroad

We must not lie down and cry, «God help us»

We shall lie all alike in our graves

We soon believe what we desire

We learn wisdom by the follies of others

Ugly women, finely dressed, are the uglier for it

Truth lies at the bottom of a well

Travellers lie by authority

To kill two flies with one flap

To a boiling pot flies come not

The works unfinish’ed lie

The brains don’t lie in the beard

Seeing is believing

Safety lies in the middle course

Reason lies between the spur and the bridle

Painters and poets have leave to lie

Make yourself all honey, and the flies will devour you

Longer we live, the more farlies (gauza harrigarri) we see

Old men and trevellers may lie by authority

Nothing flies sofast as calummny

Not lie down

No law for lying

One had made his bed and must lie on it

He that will swear, will lie

He who lies down with dogs will rise with fleas

Hearsay is half lies

Honour and profit lie not in one sack
