Quotations
Lie
A liar lies to himself as well as to the gods. Lying is the origin of all evils; it leads to rebirth in the miserable planes of existence, to breach of the pure precepts, and to corruption of the body.
-Maharatnakuta Sutra 27
A lie is just the truth waiting to be itself.
-Terri Guillemets
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
-John Gotti
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
If you lie to me, keep lying; don’t hurt me by suddenly telling the truth.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.
-Robert Paul “Tad” Williams
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological
-Robert Brault
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.
-H. L. Mencken
"A Little Book in C Major"
