Thre truth hurts

Following on from
heavenlylove105's blog,
Ok....... So I LIED!

Any one who says they don't lie is deluded!
Yes I do - but I blush - and then go quiet.
Then spill all the beans..............

The most painful and hurtful thing you can do to someone doesn't necessarily involve deception; it usually involves telling the truth.

Tell a someone something that he or she does not want to hear. The truth is often a
“weapon of destruction” .

Half the truth is often a great lie."--Benjamin Franklin

The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe."-- H. L. Mencken

Truly, to tell lies is not honorable;
but when the truth entails tremendous ruin,
To speak dishonorably is pardonable. Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC),

A liar should have a good memory.
Quintilian

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
Plato (427 BC - 347 BC),

The history of our race, and each individual's experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910),

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
Lenin (1870 - 1924)

Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, and lessens the frictions of social contacts.
Clare Booth Luce (1903 - 1987)
