Let us not be deceived we are today in the midst of a cold war.

Truth is often the favorite tool of those who deceive.

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is we think of them as we please that is as they please or displease us.

Some counterfeits reproduce so very well the truth that it would be a flaw of judgment not to be deceived by them.

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.

Who can I trust? You have to invest in somebody and chances are you're probably going to invest in somebody who's going to deceive you. I've been conned a couple of times but now I'm a little more savvy.

You may be deceived if you trust too much but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.

Who would not rather trust and be deceived?

Whoever has trusted a woman has trusted deceivers.

We are so used to dissembling with others that in time we come to deceive and dissemble with ourselves.
