Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.
A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.
I’m not crying because of you; you’re not worth it. I’m crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.
A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool.
God knows what you’ve been doing, everything you’ve been doing. You may fool me, but you can’t fool God!
The liar’s punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.
The worst crime is faking it.
Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.
Real eyes, realize, real lies...
Don’t lie to me. Don’t deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
You look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel. But I got wise, you’re the devil in disguise.
I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.
It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver.
Politicians promise you heaven before an election and give you hell after.
Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect.
The price of dishonesty is self-destruction.
Honesty doesn’t always pay, but dishonesty always costs.
