Let weak and frail man come here suppliantly to adore the Sacrament of Christ, not to discuss high things, or wish to penetrate difficulties, but to bow down to secret things in humble veneration, and to abandon God's mysteries to God, for Truth deceives no man-Almighty God can do all things. Amen.
Paul of the Cross

I did not deceive him, he did not deceive me, I did not leave him, he did not leave me, I freed him, he freed me.

My father told me that some voices are so true they can be used as weapons, can maneuver the weather, change time. He said that a voice that powerful can walk away from the singer if it is shamed. After my father left us, I learned that some voices can deceive you. There is a top layer and there is a bottom, and they don't match.

The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our labor here is brief, but the reward is eternal. Do not be disturbed by the clamor of the world, which passes like a shadow. Do not let false delights of a deceptive world deceive you.
Clare of Assisi

Appearances are deceitful, I know, but so long as they are, there's nothing like having them deceive for us instead of against us.
George Horace Lorimer

Remember what I’ve told you. Looks can often deceive you. A poor man can don the robes of a prince and a prince can be shoeless in the street. We judge people by what their actions are, not by the clothes they wear. (Eleni)
Sherrilyn Kenyon

The error arises from the learned jurists deceiving themselves and others, by asserting that government is not what it really is, one set of men banded together to oppress another set of men , but, as shown by science, is the representation of the citizens in their collective capacity.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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.
Hannah Arendt
Image
When High and Mighty people want to make us believe that they possess some good quality which they in fact do not have, it is dangerous to show that you doubt them because, by removing their hope of deceiving the world, you also remove their desire to perform the good acts that might have arisen from their very pretensions.
Madeleine de Souvre, marquise de Sable
Image
The best way to deceive a knave is to tell him the truth.
Ivan Panin
Image
It appears to be a re-run of a bad movie. [Iraqi President Saddam Hussein] is delaying. He's deceiving. He's asking for time. He's playing hide-and-seek with inspectors. One thing is for certain - he's not disarming.
George W. Bush
Image
If we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
He's a little deceiving. He doesn't have a real good arm slot as far as trying to pick the ball up out of his hand. He made some pretty good pitches when he had to.
Craig Biggio

Fake food -- I mean those patented substances chemically flavored and mechanically bulked out to kill the appetite and deceive the gut -- is unnatural, almost immoral, a bane to good eating and good cooking.
Julia Child
Image
He who lives to see two or three generations is like a man who sits some time in the conjurer's booth at a fair, and witnesses the performance twice or thrice in succession. The tricks were meant to be seen only once and when they are no longer a novelty and cease to deceive, their effect is gone.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Memory weaves and traps us at the same time according to a scheme in which we do not participate: we should never speak of our memory, for it is anything but ours it works on its own terms, it assists us while deceiving us or perhaps deceives up to assist us.
Julio Cortazar
Image
It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.
Mark Twain
Image
We have great power to see the truth when the truth is all we wish to see but what is easier than to credit what we desire? and can a man deceive anyone so easily as himself?
James Vila Blake
Image
It is better to be deceived by one's friends than to deceive them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
I apologize for lying to you. I promise I won't deceive you except in matters of this sort.
Spiro T. Agnew
Image
The days have taught you not to trust happiness because it hurts when it deceives.
Mahmoud Darwish
Image
While sight may deceive you, touch rarely does.
Ann Aguirre
Image
Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.
Blaise Pascal
