Quote

Liars are always most disposed to swear.

Lies can be wonderful things, and when a lie is told artfully, if it's done with a degree of craftsmanship, I can't help but admire the liar.

Lying is the greatest of all sins.

If you want to be thought a liar, always tell the truth.

The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.

I know how easy it is for one to stay well within moral, ethical, and legal bounds through the skillful use of words - and to thereby spin, sidestep, circumvent, or bend a truth completely out of shape. To that extent, we are all liars on numerous occasions.

To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.

Liars share with those they deceive the desire not to be deceived.

It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.

Politicians often lie.
