A lie has no leg, but a scandal has wings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Politicians often lie.
Until we totally change the way we elect our leaders, until we remove private money from public campaigns, lying will be the de facto method of governance in this country.
A lie can be halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.
In politics, sometimes you have to lie, or you make a promise that you cannot keep.
Malicious lying is usually a matter of need, but often the cruelest things we say are the truth.
In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing, we overreact.
The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.
A liar is always lavish of oaths.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
