Malicious lying is usually a matter of need, but often the cruelest things we say are the truth.

Liars are always most disposed to swear.

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.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

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.

If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.

A harmful truth is better than a useful lie.

A liar is always lavish of oaths.

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

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.
