Subject: [PW] Children and fools always speak the truth - source


Greetings fellow w*mb at s,

We have a patron wanting to know the exact source of "Children and fools
always speak the truth." We found a paragraph attributing it to
Euripides (with the greek letters accompanying).  

Does anyone have the exact source of this proverb?

Thanks,
Jeff
