Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.

Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.

Summary

This quote implies that individuals on the brink of death are more likely to speak the truth. In the face of mortality, people may feel a sense of urgency to confront their past actions, reveal their genuine feelings, or disclose long-hidden secrets. With little time left, there is less incentive to deceive or hold back the truth, making the words of dying individuals perceived as more honest and genuine. This quote underscores the vulnerability and immense impact that mortality can have on people's willingness to speak their truths.
