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.

Quotations
Lie
Every lie is two lies — the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.
-Robert Brault
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
