A slanderous tongue is the sign of a bad heart. Publius Syrus. Moral Sayings. Number 431.
Image: Cleopatra showing Octavius the bust of Julius Caesar by Pompeo Batoni (18th century). I selected this image because Octavius slandered Cleopatra repeatedly to justify his war with her and Marc Antony. It's a beautiful painting but I always grit my teeth when the clothing is not historically accurate.
