People lie in everyday conversation to appear more likeable and competent. While men and women lie equally as often, they tend to lie for different reasons.

The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

The truthful man is usually a liar.

There is no lie that a man will not believe; and there is no man who does not believe many lies; and there is no man who believes only lies.

The topic of trust is an important factor in all matters of the heart - and here's why. Men lie to women. Women lie to men. And most people agree that some lying is even necessary - to avoid petty squabbles and to grease the wheels of a relationship.

Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm an algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive.

All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.

Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.

Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
