The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Men still have to be governed by deception.
Deception is everywhere.
Politicians are masters of the art of deception.
Self-deception is so far from impossible that it is one of the most ordinary phenomena with which we are acquainted. Nothing is more usual than for a man to impute his actions to honorable motives when it is nearly demonstrable that they flowed from some corrupt and contemptible force.
Lies are told only to convey to someone that one has no need either of him or his good opinion.
The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.
False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing.
People always overdo the matter when they attempt deception.
Men lie the most. Men lie all the time.
Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.
