Lying: A Pre-election Primer

Few adversaries are more fearsome than an accomplished liar.

We have more to fear from liars among us than from provocateurs abroad.

The first lie sticks in one's craw; the second may come a bit easier; the third, easier still; until, without intervention, one learns to lie unflinchingly.

Small lies that don't matter are the seeds of bigger lies that do.

If you think he would lie to you now, what makes you doubt he will lie to you later?

Accepting a lie emboldens the liar.
