A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Lies are told only to convey to someone that one has no need either of him or his good opinion.
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it.
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
The truth cannot be deceptive, and one who sees it cannot be deceived.
Lying is done with words and also with silence.
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 truthful man is usually a liar.
If you want to be thought a liar, always tell the truth.
