Robert Emmet, Irish Activist (1780-1803)

There is something mean in human nature that prefers to think evil, that gives a willing ear and a ready welcome to calumny, a sort of jealousy of goodness and greatness and things of good report.

Richard Le Gallienne, English Poet

A man calumniated is doubly injured - first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.

Herodotus, Greek Historian

Calumny is only the noise of madmen.

Diogenes of Sinope, Greek Philosopher

It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny.

Mary Stewart, English Novelist (1916- )
