I'm Just a Lyin' Clown

Quotes about liars sponsored in part by Timothy Ransom and his Liars Club.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
Carl Sagan
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic
John F. Kennedy
To rationalize their lies, people -- and the governments, churches, or terrorist cells they compose -- are apt to regard their private interests and desires as just.
Wendy Kaminer
Hmmm... Rationalizing their lies by regarding their interests and desires as just. Sounds just like Timmy and company.
