Lie
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

- Robert Paul “Tad” Williams
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
Every lie is two lies — the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.
- Robert Brault
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
- John Gotti
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
- Robert Brault
Do not assert with your mouth what your heart denies.
- Yin Chih Wen
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological
- Robert Brault
The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide. In this sense, truth, even if it does not prevail in public, possesses an ineradicable primacy over all falsehoods.
- Hannah Arendt
