I hate deception, even where the imagination only is concerned.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Dr. John Cochran, Aug. 16, 1779
- O, what a tangled web we weave;
- When first we practice to deceive!
SIR WALTER SCOTT, Marmion
He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, leter to Peter Carr, Aug. 19, 1785
Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them.
OBI-WAN KENOBI, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
