A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself as a liar

A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.

Of course, the liar often imagines that he does no harm as long as his lies go undetected. But the one lied to almost never shares this view. The moment we consider our dishonesty from the point of view of those we lie to, we recognize that we would feel betrayed if the roles were reversed.

The truthful man is usually a liar.

A gold mine is a hole in the ground owned by a liar.

Truth is like a bright full moon in a dark country sky. Powerful, bright and undeniable. Lies are like clouds that continually try to cover that moon. Sometimes they might be able to cover the moon, but only temporarily. The truth will always outshine the clouds.
