Fraud and falsehood only dread examination. Truth invites it

Summary

This quote highlights the stark contrast between deceit and honesty when it comes to scrutiny. Fraud and falsehood have a deep-seated fear of being exposed through investigation or examination. On the other hand, truth welcomes and encourages examination, confident that it will withstand and emerge stronger from the process. It suggests that deceitful actions thrive in darkness, wherein deception can flourish out of sight. Meanwhile, truth seeks transparency, understanding that it is through scrutiny that its authenticity and integrity can be verified.
