Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead. - Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745)

虚偽が飛び去った後で、真実は足を引きずってやってくるため、人が騙されなくなるころには、手遅れなのだ；　戯れが終わり、作り話の影響は残る：　話題が変わってから、または相手と別れてから、気の利いた返答を考えた人のように；　あるいは、患者が亡くなった後で、間違いのない薬を見つけた医師のように。 - ジョナサン・スウィフト (1667 - 1745)
