Falsehoods of convenience or vanity, falsehoods from which no evil immediately visible ensues, except the general degradation of human testimony, are very lightly uttered, and once uttered are sullenly supported. ~ Samuel Johnson
Deceit quotes by Samuel Johnson
... while transparency is a natural associate of liberalism, it falls short of implying rationalism. It is one aspiration, that social and ethical relations should not essentially rest on ignorance and misunderstanding of what they are, and quite another that all the beliefs and principles involved in them should be explicitly stated. That these are two different things is obvious with personal relations, where to hope that they do not rest on deceit and error is merely decent, but to think that their basis can be made totally explicit is idiocy. ~ Bernard Williams
Deceit quotes by Bernard Williams
Out of abysses of Illiteracy, Through labyrinths of Lies, Across wastelands of Disease ... We advance Out of dead-ends of Poverty, Through wilderness of Superstition, Across barricades of Jim Crowism ... We advance. ~ Melvin B. Tolson
Deceit quotes by Melvin B. Tolson
But the gradual growth of our own wickedness, endeared by interest, and palliated by all the artifices of self-deceit, gives us time to form distinctions in our own favour, and reason by degrees submits to absurdity, as the eye is in time accommodated to darkness. ~ Samuel Johnson
Deceit quotes by Samuel Johnson
Maya (deceit) means that one cannot see the nature of things as they are but sees them in a different form. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Deceit quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Men seek a great deal, but fatally close, albeit very different, is one's pride in proving oneself right with one's zeal for finding the truth. ~ Criss Jami
Deceit quotes by Criss Jami
Deceit and falsehood, whatever conveniences they may for a time promise or produce, are, in the sum of life, obstacles to happiness. Those who profit by the cheat distrust the deceiver; and the act by which kindness was sought puts an end to confidence. ~ Samuel Johnson
Deceit quotes by Samuel Johnson
People for the most part can smell lies. ~ Joe Rogan
Deceit quotes by Joe Rogan
She locked herself in her room. She needed time to get used to her maimed consciousness, her poor lopped life, before she could walk steadily to the place allotted her. A new searching light had fallen on her husband's character, and she could not judge him leniently: the twenty years in which she had believed in him and venerated him by virtue of his concealments came back with particulars that made them seem an odious deceit. He had married her with that bad past life hidden behind him, and she had no faith left to protest his innocence of the worst that was imputed to him. Her honest ostentatious nature made the sharing of a merited dishonor as bitter as it could be to any mortal.
But this imperfectly taught woman, whose phrases and habits were an odd patchwork, had a loyal spirit within her. The man whose prosperity she had shared through nearly half a life, and who had unvaryingly cherished her - now that punishment had befallen him it was not possible to her in any sense to forsake him. There is a forsaking which still sits at the same board and lies on the same couch with the forsaken soul, withering it the more by unloving proximity. She knew, when she locked her door, that she should unlock it ready to go down to her unhappy husband and espouse his sorrow, and say of his guilt, I will mourn and not reproach. But she needed time to gather up her strength; she needed to sob out her farewell to all the gladness and pride of her life. When she had resolved to go dow ~ George Eliot
Deceit quotes by George Eliot
Lies don't fit snugly into disguises. Eventually the cloak falls off and you're left staring at the naked truth which is always an uncomfortable situation. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Deceit quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Lies are living beings; once they get hold of you they never let go ~ Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Deceit quotes by Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
His mentality was dressed up as a moral code, but when naked, was simply a preference. ~ J.S. Mason
Deceit quotes by J.S. Mason
All warfare is based on deception. For years, the West hypocrisy has made the world a battlefield. The corrupt talk while our brothers and sons spill their own blood. But deceit cuts both ways. The bigger the lie, the more likely people will believe it, and when a nation cries for vengeance, the lie spreads like a wildfire. The fire builds, devouring everything in its path. Our enemies believe that they alone dictate the course of history, and all it takes is the will of a single man. ~ Vladimer Makarov
Deceit quotes by Vladimer Makarov
In the end, Leck should have stuck to his lies. For it was the truth he almost told that killed him. ~ Kristin Cashore
Deceit quotes by Kristin Cashore
What has God called a religion? Renunciation is not religion. To be free of anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays) is religion; or to have feeble (tamed) kashays is religion. That's all. Only these two are religion. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Deceit quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Human history is one prolonged and painful limping. We invariably step with one foot on the rock of justice, and with the other, we sink into the mire of deceit and self-delusion. ~ Danail Hristov
Deceit quotes by Danail Hristov
Don't be frightened by your beauty, you haven't until now, known you had it, and so you're uncorrupted by it. You can never take any credit for it, or make it your aim. But it would be as much deceit to deny your beauty or tell yourself that what you see is not you. Beauty hovers around you wherever you go, which is why these two poor young men chase after you when you're covered in dirt and dressed in rags. Not beauty of the face or form. Something eternal. This beauty that comes from dresses and jewels is somewhat of an illusion. But even illusion has its place. And that's what parties and dancing are for. ~ Julie Berry
Deceit quotes by Julie Berry
One's liberation begins once he does the darshan of kashaya-free (absence of inner anger, pride, deceit and greed) Gnani purush [the enlightened one]. Who is considered kashaya-free? The one whose state is that where there was no kashaya, there is no kashaya, and there never will be any. The one who is never in the state of the non-Self. Doing darshan of such a One brings ultimate well being. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Deceit quotes by Dada Bhagwan
There are also many instances where people hostile to the Soviet state are attempting by means of deceit and provocation to poison the minds of our citizens and compel them to believe in monstrous lies. ~ Filipp Golikov
Deceit quotes by Filipp Golikov
In them, she saw the sham of her life laid out like a book, the foolish belief that she, that anyone, could escape the consequences of this world, could flee from death. That was the deceit. The true serpent in the garden. ~ Libba Bray
Deceit quotes by Libba Bray
The first generation of therapists doing this work were told by their clients that the one massive cult was everywhere, knew everything, had access to state-of-the-art technology, and was willing to kill both clients and therapists to stop the information from getting out." []
"The reality is that even before stories of ritual abuse and mind control began coming out to therapists, the groups had agreed on what kind of disinformation to spread, so that clients would be afraid to tell their therapists what had happened to them, and therapists would be afraid to work with these clients." [ ]
"We know that there is not one massive Satanic cult, but many different interrelated groups, including religious, military/political, and organized crime, using mind control on children and adult survivors. We know that there are effective treatments. We know that many of the paralyzing beliefs our clients lived by are the results of lies and tricks perpetrated by their abusers. ~ Alison Miller
Deceit quotes by Alison Miller
And when all was said and done the lies a fellow told about himself couldn't probably hold a proverbial candle to the wholesale whoppers other fellows coined about him. ~ James Joyce
Deceit quotes by James Joyce
Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell elaborate lies. ~ Mel Gibson
Deceit quotes by Mel Gibson
Don't trust anything, motivations vary. ~ Maria Karvouni
Deceit quotes by Maria Karvouni
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct. 29They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, they are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. ~ Scott Hahn
Deceit quotes by Scott Hahn
It is important to realize that a person with the gift of discernment can often tell the difference between what is of God and what is not. Such a person can often point out false teachings or false teachers - he has an almost uncanny ability to perceive
hypocrisy, shallowness, deceit, or phoniness. ~ Billy Graham
Deceit quotes by Billy Graham
When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand: 15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man. 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"* 17 When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. 18 So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"* 20 And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man. ~ Anonymous
Deceit quotes by Anonymous
Fraud and deceit are anxious for your money. Be informed and prudent. ~ John Andreas Widtsoe
Deceit quotes by John Andreas Widtsoe
If ... deceit is fundamental to animal communication, then there must be strong selection to spot deception and this ought, in turn, to select for a degree of self-deception, rendering some facts and motives unconscious so as not to betray - by the subtle signs of self-knowledge - the deception being practiced.' Thus, 'the conventional view that natural selection favors nervous systems which produce ever more accurate images of the world must be a very naive view of mental evolution. ~ Robert Trivers
Deceit quotes by Robert Trivers
There are things that I canna tell you, at least not yet. And I'll ask nothing of ye that ye canna give me. But what I would ask of ye
when you do tell me something, let it be the truth. And I'll promise ye the same. We have nothing now between us, save
respect, perhaps. And I think that respect has maybe room for secrets, but not for lies. Do ye agree? ~ Diana Gabaldon
Deceit quotes by Diana Gabaldon
Lack of accomplishment is one thing; deceit is quite another. Everyone who has followed her career knows that Hillary is dishonest to the core, a "congenital liar" as columnist William Safire once put it. The writer Christopher Hitchens titled his book about the Clintons No One Left to Lie To. Even Hollywood mogul David Geffen, an avid progressive, said a few years ago of the Clintons, "Everybody in politics lies but they do it with such ease, it's troubling."3 ~ Dinesh D'Souza
Deceit quotes by Dinesh D'Souza
Given the blatant deceit regarding the biologically harmful effects of antenna towers, cell phones and WiFi radiation, one can only wonder what is going on with all of the other forms of radiation. ~ Steven Magee
Deceit quotes by Steven Magee
The thing that kills me is all these bands that use huge words in their lyrics, 'I'm swimming in a vortex of apathy.' I'm like, 'What?' I don't walk up to a friend and go 'That's a stylin' looking vortex of apathy you've got there pal. I was swimming up a river of deceit myself.' ~ Devin Townsend
Deceit quotes by Devin Townsend
She set a tankard of grog before him, the moment before he became aware of his own thirst. Gray reached for it, shaking his head. A long swallow of watered-down rum added fuel to his resentment. He'd allowed himself to become so transparent to her, while she remained an enigma to him. Her talents fit no logical pattern-sketching, painting, deceit, seduction, thievery...now the ability to pound biscuit and salted meat into a fair-tasting chowder? It was enough to make him abandon all hope of ever comprehending her.
Perhaps he never would. But it was another thought that had him hurrying through his food, desperate to put some distance between them. He might never understand her, Gray realized, but he could get dangerously accustomed to this other feeling.
Being understood. ~ Tessa Dare
Deceit quotes by Tessa Dare
When your lover is a liar, you and he have a lot in common, you're both lying to you! ~ Susan Forward
Deceit quotes by Susan Forward
Far too often, the best thing I can have in my hand when someone makes a promise is a really big broom so that I can sweep up the broken pieces. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Deceit quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
What man ever openly apologizes for slander? It is not so much a feeling of slander as it is that of a massive lie, a misdeed not only to the slandered but also to those manipulated in the process. He has made them all, every one, his enemies, thereupon he is so overwhelmed with guilt that he will deny it until his grave. ~ Criss Jami
Deceit quotes by Criss Jami
In our national discourse and in pursuing our national agenda, we must never leave anyone behind. We must reach out to the many who may have been disaffected and left confused by political games, deceit and showmanship. The people first must transcend every level of society. ~ Najib Razak
Deceit quotes by Najib Razak
Utopianism's equality is intolerant of diversity, uniqueness, debate, etc., for utopianism's purpose requires a singular focus. There can be no competing voices or causes slowing or obstructing society's long and righteous march. Utopianism relies on deceit, propaganda, dependence, intimidation, and force. In its more aggressive state, as the malignancy of the enterprise becomes more painful and its impossibility more obvious, it incites violence inasmuch as avenues for free expression and civil dissent are cut off. Violence becomes the individual's primary recourse and the state's primary response. Ultimately, the only way out is the state's termination. ~ Mark R. Levin
Deceit quotes by Mark R. Levin
As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other. ~ Giacomo Casanova
Deceit quotes by Giacomo Casanova
Remember that life holds out many pleasing deceits to us by the vanity of glory; for that when we are beginning to live, then we are dying. There is, therefore, nothing more profitless than ambition. ~ Theophrastus
Deceit quotes by Theophrastus
Politics bores you?" Bronsen said.
Julien smiled. "It does. Apologies, sir, and it is not that I haven't tried to be fascinated. But careful and meticulous research has suggested the hypothesis that all politicians are liars, fools, and tricksters, and I have as yet come across no evidence to the contrary. They can do great damage, and rarely any good. It is the job of the sensible man to try and protect civilization from their depradations. ~ Iain Pears
Deceit quotes by Iain Pears
Deceit comes in through the ears, but usually leaves through the eyes. ~ Baltasar Gracian
Deceit quotes by Baltasar Gracian
In Paris, when certain people see you ready to set your foot in the stirrup, some pull your coat-tails, others loosen the buckle of the strap that you may fall and crack your skull; one wrenches off your horse's shoes, another steals your whip, and the least treacherous of them all is the man whom you see coming to fire his pistol at you point blank. ~ Honore De Balzac
Deceit quotes by Honore De Balzac
Anything someone gets conned into will never be that great. ~ Roberto Hogue
Deceit quotes by Roberto Hogue
When the prophet read this verse: If God wishes to guide anyone, He expands his breast for Islam (6 : 125), he was asked as to the meaning of expansion of breast and he said: This is light. When it is cast into heart, it expands. He was asked: Has it got any sign? The Prophet replied: Yes, to be separate from this world of deceit, to turn to the hereafter and to prepare for death before it actually comes. ~ Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali
Deceit quotes by Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali
It seems hardly possible to analyse such a complex situation involving deceit and supposition of another person's emotional response, and then prepare your own plausible lie, all while someone is waiting for you to reply to a question. Yet that is exactly what people expect you to be able to do. ~ Graeme Simsion
Deceit quotes by Graeme Simsion
If you practise deceit it will burrow down into dark places and change you.

Spoken by Boaz to his daughter, Star. ~ Rona V Flynn
Deceit quotes by Rona V Flynn
You will not realize the absolute supreme Self (parmatma) unless the weakness departs. Anger, pride, deceit and greed are the weaknesses. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Deceit quotes by Dada Bhagwan
You have very accurately described the difficulty of presenting my books on film: many of my characters are alone most of the time, and when they do talk, what they say is mostly lies. That can make for a pretty confusing film. ~ Thomas Perry
Deceit quotes by Thomas Perry
The English are polite by telling lies. The Americans are polite by telling the truth. ~ Malcolm Bradbury
Deceit quotes by Malcolm Bradbury
We need a people's movement to end this war, ... We're going to ask them How many more of other people's children are you willing to sacrifice for the lies ~ Cindy Sheehan
Deceit quotes by Cindy Sheehan
My eyes are too shy to deceive me; because I am still young and fresh. ~ Mwanandeke Kindembo
Deceit quotes by Mwanandeke Kindembo
It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit. ~ Noel Coward
Deceit quotes by Noel Coward
Wiles and deceit are female qualities. ~ Aeschylus
Deceit quotes by Aeschylus
It makes more sense to find out where the middle- and long-term common ground lies. ~ Gerhard Schroder
Deceit quotes by Gerhard Schroder
Some people are like branches. They sway away even with a gentle breeze. Others, the ones like roots, can only be shaken if there is a hurricane.

Stay with latter - they keep the relationship stable. And, do remember not to stir the hurricane by lies or deceit.
#Stability ~ Saru Singhal
Deceit quotes by Saru Singhal
Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit. ~ Walter Scott
Deceit quotes by Walter Scott
Almost all people are hypnotics. The proper authority saw to it that the proper belief should be induced, and the people believed properly. ~ Charles Fort
Deceit quotes by Charles Fort
Betrayal and dishonor is usually an inside job. Keep it 'sucka-free', loved one! ~ T.F. Hodge
Deceit quotes by T.F. Hodge
It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Deceit quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
If she is given full immunity ... in order to verify that she's telling the truth, which I'm sure she is, I would be happy to submit her to a polygraph examination. Lie detector's not a good word because they can't detect lies. ~ William H. Ginsburg
Deceit quotes by William H. Ginsburg
Having two women - one who can't know about the other, and one who must be trusted not to destroy his life - is clearly difficult for him. ~ Jennifer Harrison
Deceit quotes by Jennifer Harrison
I'm a Kashmiri ,
I live in a rogue place.
I'm surrounded by conformist ,
boot licking ,
people pleasing "herd"!

People
Safely cocooned in their stereotypical conformist lives,
maintaining status quo ,
they make generic responses
expecting generic answers!

For someone with an alien mentality like 'mine' ,
I am an out cast !
But it's 'them' who are the eerie one ,
like the deadly malignant tumour
feeding on its own people ,
A parasite,
growing inside the system!

Superficial faces ,
powdered with lies and deceit ;
people ,
like controlled robots,
In love with their own ignorance !! ~ BinYamin Gulzar
Deceit quotes by BinYamin Gulzar
Wiggy & I were drug buddies. There is no tighter compact for friendship. There is no greater potential for deceit. ~ Pete Townshend
Deceit quotes by Pete Townshend
These were eye-opening years for me. When I'd come back to Warner Brothers after the war, I'd shared the orthodox liberal view that Communists - if there really were any - were liberals who were temporarily off track, and whatever they were, they didn't pose much of a threat to me or anyone. I heard whispers that Moscow wanted to infiltrate the world's most powerful medium of entertainment, but I'd passed them off as irrational and emotional red baiting. Now I knew from firsthand experience how Communists used lies, deceit, violence, or any other tactic that suited them to advance the cause of Soviet expansionism. I knew from the experience of hand-to-hand combat that America faced no more insidious or evil threat than that of Communism. ~ Ronald Reagan
Deceit quotes by Ronald Reagan

13.Humility. Imitate Jesus and Socrates. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Deceit quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Long had he believed that a gentleman should turn to a mirror with a sense of distrust. For rather than being tools of self-discovery, mirrors tended to be tools of self-deceit. ~ Amor Towles
Deceit quotes by Amor Towles
It is not uncommon to charge the difference between promise and performance, between profession and reality, upon deep design and studied deceit; but the truth is, that there is very little hypocrisy in the world. ~ Samuel Johnson
Deceit quotes by Samuel Johnson
Contrary to secularist myth, science in practice is innately and irrepressibly religious: it serves either God or idolatry. But one of the features of idolatry is deceit. In this case, idolatry conceals from itself that it is idolatry. ~ Vern Sheridan Poythress
Deceit quotes by Vern Sheridan Poythress
Think twice, the impression is not always the intention. ~ Aniekee Tochukwu Ezekiel
Deceit quotes by Aniekee Tochukwu Ezekiel
In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? ~ William Shakespeare
Deceit quotes by William Shakespeare
Vengeance, retaliation, retribution, revenge are deceitful brothers - vile, beguiling demons promising justifiable compensation to a pained soul for his losses. Yet in truth they craftily fester away all else of worth remaining. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Deceit quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
I have spoken to Paul and he is now talking to his family and seeing where his future lies, whether it be here or back in Scotland, said Worthington. Obviously I'm delighted with the way he played today and also the way he performed at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday when he only knew he would be playing 15 minutes before the game. ~ Nigel Worthington
Deceit quotes by Nigel Worthington
Even without the Grand Reclaimer bond, Helen, you are my heartbeat. My pulse. You are the fire in my blood and the laughter in my soul. ~ Alison Goodman
Deceit quotes by Alison Goodman
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
Deceit quotes by Hannah Arendt
Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head, and lies. ~ Alexander Pope
Deceit quotes by Alexander Pope
The Indonesian nationalists, mainly Javanese, who threw the Dutch out - in 1949, after a four-year struggle - were keen to preserve their inheritance and emulated the coercion, deceit, and bribery of the colonial rulers. ~ Pankaj Mishra
Deceit quotes by Pankaj Mishra
Would you dare to reach inside the vault of a feral heart?
Glare into the keyhole, eyes bound with intrigue...is it real what we perceive? or does the absent colour leave you lost or decieved? ~ L V HALL
Deceit quotes by L V HALL
It's obvious that things aren't going well over there. This is a war based on lies. ~ Cindy Sheehan
Deceit quotes by Cindy Sheehan
We evolved haphazardly within a random universe; no purpose underpins us, no God watches over us, and no assured glorious future awaits us. We are saddled with a dualistic consciousness that weighs us down and plays tricks on us. We have built and seem unable to dismantle a dehumanizing and destructive civilization and mindset that perpetuates deceit and greed. We can make ourselves as comfortable as possible, as doctors tell their terminally ill patients, but we are sadly incurable. ~ Colin Feltham
Deceit quotes by Colin Feltham
In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. ~ George Orwell
Deceit quotes by George Orwell
Wrinkled women lifting their faces, chasing their youth.
Fat men sucking in bellies.
Poor folks putting on airs.
Sinners acting like saints.
All of us keeping pace with our companions, stepping lively in this dance of deceit. ~ Philip Gulley
Deceit quotes by Philip Gulley
A civilization that proves incapable of solving the problems it creates is a decadent civilization.
A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a stricken civilization.
A civilization that uses its principles for trickery and deceit is a dying civilization. ~ Aime Cesaire
Deceit quotes by Aime Cesaire
Whosoever assumes a religious garb pleases not God even a bit. O ye men, understand this clearly in your minds, that God is attained not through showmanship. They who practice deceit, attain not Deliverance in the Hereafter. They do so only to accomplish the affairs of the world and even the kings worship them for their appearance! But through showmanship, God is attained not, howsoever one searches. He who subdues his mind alone recognizes the Transcendent God. ~ Guru Gobind Singh
Deceit quotes by Guru Gobind Singh
Mr. Brocklehurst, I believe I intimated in the letter which I wrote to you three weeks ago, that this little girl has not quite the character and disposition I could wish: should you admit her into Lowood school, I should be glad if the superintendent and teachers were requested to keep a strict eye on her, and, above all, to guard against her worst fault, a tendency to deceit. I mention this in your hearing, Jane, that you may not attempt to impose on Mr. Brocklehurst. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Deceit quotes by Charlotte Bronte
All around me is cowardice and deceit. ~ Nicholas II Of Russia
Deceit quotes by Nicholas II Of Russia
Aikido versus Aikido breeds weakness and self-deceit. ~ Toshishiro Obata
Deceit quotes by Toshishiro Obata
No mighty trance, or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell. ~ John Milton
Deceit quotes by John Milton
I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Deceit quotes by Charlotte Bronte
We are born atheist and we remain so until someone lies to us. ~ Aron Ra
Deceit quotes by Aron Ra
All the lies and evasions by which man has nourished himself civilization, in a word is the fruits of the creative artist. It is the creative nature of man which has refused to let him lapse back into that unconscious unity with life which characterizes the animal world from which he made his escape. ~ Henry Miller
Deceit quotes by Henry Miller
One of these days when you are spreading your web of lies and deceit. Your tongue shall turn to ashes in your mouth and after the falling out of your teeth. ~ Crystal Evans
Deceit quotes by Crystal Evans
As a final crash of self-indulgent nonsense, when the incontrovertible truth of your panoramic and murderous deceit has even begun to cost your political party seemingly perpetual congressional seats ... When somebody asks you, sir, about the cooked books and faked threats you foisted on a sincere and frightened nation; when somebody asks you, sir, about your gallant, noble, self-abnegating sacrifice of your golf game so as to soothe the families of the war dead; this advice, Mr. Bush: Shut the hell up! Good night and good luck. ~ Keith Olbermann
Deceit quotes by Keith Olbermann
If a man's thoughts are muddy, If he is reckless and full of deceit, How can he wear the yellow robe? Whoever is master of his own nature, Bright, clear and true, He may indeed wear the yellow robe. ~ Gautama Buddha
Deceit quotes by Gautama Buddha
Persistent distrust is the flame of deceit. Be as good as your word or be singed by the heat. ~ Wes Fesler
Deceit quotes by Wes Fesler
Because of anger-pride-deceit-greed, selfishness [self-interest] remains and consequently one has no awareness of who dies or who takes birth. It is simply a wrong belief that has arisen. But after a long time, as one progresses, if he meets a Gnani Purush [the enlightened one], he will acquire the awareness that birth and death is simply a phase. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Deceit quotes by Dada Bhagwan
He hated words. Words glossed every real thing with brittle artifice and deceit. Words were always lies, always intended to deceive even when they held the truth. . . . ~ Bill Granger
Deceit quotes by Bill Granger
This world is all a fleeting show, For man's illusion given The smiles of joy, the tears of woe, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow, Theres nothing true but Heaven. ~ Charles Lamb
Deceit quotes by Charles Lamb
I've trained you to be as honest as any man who ever lived, but if virtue serves to guide our actions with our friends and allies, every sort of trick can be used against our enemies. That's why you were taught never to hunt a lion or a bear without some special advantage. Didn't that kind of lesson teach you cunning and deceit? ~ Xenophon
Deceit quotes by Xenophon
