Truth makes the face of that person shine who speaks and owns it. [ South ]

When two men quarrel, who owns the cooler head is the more to blame. [ Goethe ]

Own or Confess? The verb to own means to possess, but it has borrowed the additional and objectionable meaning of to confess, to acknowledge; as, He owned his crime. A man owns a house, but confesses a larceny, or a murder, neither of which offenses is hardly susceptible of ownership. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
