According to the candidates, tomorrow's voting will be all about truth. So consider the quotations below when you go to vote, but for Pete's sake vote.

Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

Winston Churchill

Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

Albert Einstein

Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people.

F. M. Hubbard

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.

Mark Twain

Beware of the half truth. You may have gotten the wrong half.

Unknown

The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter - 'tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.

Mark Twain

"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts... for support   rather than illumination."  Andrew Lang (1844 -1912)  

Regarding those of us that people claim are "equal"-After being told that the English don't mind being called Englishmen Ben Franklin says:

Nor would I, were I given the full rights of an Englishman. But to call me one without those rights is like calling an ox a bull. He's thankful for the honor, but he'd much rather have restored what's rightfully his.

Musical 1776

And the final thing I'd ask you to remember when you step into the booth to vote:

Remember the Unicorn's bargain: "I'll believe in you if  you believe in me"
