f negligence was just the thing of which far-
seeing and thoughtful men are capable; and which, if there were no
higher motive, should induce them to rely on truth alone. A very
close vulpine nature, all eyes, all ears, may succeed better in
deceit. But it is a sleepless business. Yet, strange to say, it is
had recourse to in the most spendthrift fashion, as the first and
easiest thing that comes to hand.
In connection with truth in business, it may be observed that if you are a truthful man, you should be watchful over those whom you employ; for your subordinate agents are often fond of lying for your interests, as they think. Show them at once that you do not think with them, and that you will disconcert any of their inventions by breaking in with the truth. If you suffer the fear of seeming unkind to prevent your thrusting well-meant inventions aside, you may get as much pledged to falsehoods as if you had coined and uttered them yourself.
