There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up and the kind you make up.

If you spend a lot of time lying to people, you think a lot about what the truth means.

There are a lot of people who lie and get away with it, and that's just a fact.

Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.

I never lie. I believe everything I say, so it's not a lie.

Well, the truth is that a lot of people lie about their health, they lie about the finances, they lie about things at work, they lie about things.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

I think statistics go in one ear and out the other. All of us respond to stories more than numbers.
