ON TELLING THE TRUTH AND LYING

OSCAR WILDE Observes:

There is only one significant advantage in the practice of a generalized honesty.  When it is truly expedient to have a lie believed, it will be.           

MARK TWAIN Remarks:

I believe that the reason why we lie so much better than tell the truth is that lying requires more effort, and we are generally more committed to make it seem to be true.
