I'm hopeless at telling lies. I can attempt strategic ones in order not to hurt people's feelings, but then I'll blow it 10 minutes later.

Telling lies does not work in advertising.

If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

It is Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.

People who say "no" right away are usually lying. A truthful person is perfectly capable of saying "no" but generally they stop and think about it first. And they add "sorry" or something like that. Maybe they come out with some questions of their own. It's human nature. They say, "Sorry, no, why, what happened?

The lies we tell other people are nothing to the lies we tell ourselves.
