Human beings will continue to deceive and overpower one another. Basically, everyone exists in the very nature of suffering, so to abuse or mistreat each other is futile. The foundation of all spiritual practice is love. That you practice this well is my only request.
Dalai Lama

Cardinal Richelieu
Image
So no, I’m not too big on religion...and not very fond of politics or economics either...And why should I be? They are the man-created trinity of terrors that ravages the earth and deceives those I care about. What mental turmoil and anxiety does any human face that is not related to one of those three?
William P. Young

The primary function of poetry, as of all the arts, is to make us more aware of ourselves and the world around us. I do not know if such increased awareness makes us more moral or more efficient. I hope not. I think it makes us more human, and I am quite certain it makes us more difficult to deceive.

If I have one wish which is greater than another, it is, if I had the power, to make men do right to make them stop their swearing, their lying, their deceiving, to stop trying to injure the innocent, and begin to be honest and upright in all their dealings with one another and honor the name of the Deity.
Brigham Young
Image
The human heart has so many crannies where vanity hides, so many holes where falsehood works, is so decked out with deceiving hypocrisy, that it often dupes itself.

Lying is a false significance of speech, with a will to deceive, which cannot be cured but by shame and reason it is a monstrous and wicked evil, that filthily depraved and defileth the tongue of man.
Jon Jones
Image
It is not difficult to deceive the first time, for the deceived possesses no antibodies unvaccinated by suspicion, she overlooks lateness, accepts absurd excuses, permits the flimsiest patching to repair great rents in the quotidian.
John Updike
Image
It's the easiest thing in the world for a man to deceive himself.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
It is as easy to unknowingly deceive yourself as it is to deceive others.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Plains deceive you they cause you to think that life is easy! Mountains never deceive you they teach you the realties! Go to the mountains!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
I still like and admire George W. Bush. I consider him a fundamentally decent person, and I do not believe he or his White House deliberately or consciously sought to deceive the American people.

Image
The easiest person to deceive is one's self.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

Liberal of cruelty are those who pamper with promises promisers destroy while they deceive, and the hope they raise is dearly purchased by the dependence that is sequent to disappointment.
Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann
Image
Appearances are deceiving.
Aesop

I'm such an awful faker. Everything that comes out of my mouth needs to be the real deal. Not that I ever try to be deceiving, but sometimes it takes a while to find your voice and find what you want to say.
Steve Grand
Image
We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.
