Scott D. Anthony
Image
Literature is a defense against the attacks of life. It says to life: You can't deceive me. I know your habits, foresee and enjoy watching all your reactions, and steal your secret by involving you in cunning obstructions that halt your normal flow.
Cesare Pavese
Image
What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may take any number of wrong turnings but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you. The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it.
C. S. Lewis

The wind is awake, pretty leave, pretty leaves, Heed not what he says, he deceives, he deceives Over and over To the lowly clover He has lisped the same love (and forgotten it, too). He will be lisping and pledging to you.
John Vance Cheney

Nothing is more common on earth than to deceive and be deceived.
Johann Gottfried Seume

It is easier to deceive yourself, and to do so unperceived, than to deceive another.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Christian hope is not a ghost and it does not deceive. It is a theological virtue and therefore, ultimately, a gift from God that cannot be reduced to optimism, which is only human. God does not mislead hope God cannot deny himself. God is all promise.
Pope Francis
Image
Hearts can deceive. Words can deceive. But eyes we should trust.
Cesare Borgia
Image
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The oracles are dumb, No voice or hideous hum Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving. Apollo from his shrine Can no more divine, With hollow shriek the steep of Delphos leaving. No nightly trance or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
John Milton

A miracle is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive: therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Moving along the upward spiral requires us to learn, commit, and do on increasingly higher planes. We deceive ourselves if we think that any one of these is sufficient. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do-learn, commit, and do-and learn, commit, and do again.
Stephen Covey
Image
When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
