Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.

I can't say why people lie; they just do. Everyone has their own reasons for not telling the truth.

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.

I consider myself pretty lazy, but I look back and check out the stuff I've done, and I say, 'God, that's a lot of stuff for a lazy guy.' It's a paradox, I suppose, being both things.

The horrible truth is that I am lazy and I am going to write and do bits that just hand themselves to me.

To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step to knowledge.

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

There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.
