deceit

It is hard to befool a fool who has already been fooled so many times

When words don__ add up in love, it is because of six possible reasons: 1. They are afraid to tell you the truth because you will leave them. 2. They enjoy being a liar or playing people because of ego reasons and/or control. 3. They don__ know the truth themselves. 4. They are undecided. 5. They refuse to let their guard down and be vulnerable because you or someone else have hurt them tremendously. 6. You are not being told all the information because of a break down in communication.

You can be bit in the leg by a rattlesnake and seek help to heal your wound, or you can run after it and let the poison take your leg. The same is true with love.

Do not be deceived: bad company corrupts good morals.

I survive at the edge of friends circles.

If you can get others to believe that your random guesses are actual answers, they__l never guess that you never understood the question in the first place.

Anger-pride-deceit-greed are in the form of __ischarge_. But if one does not have __nowledge of True Self_ (realization of the self), then he __harges_ new karmas within.

But what was good tween us must have been nothing but bodies, she say. Cause I don't know the Albert that don't dance, can't hardly laugh, never talk bout nothing, beat you and hid your sister Nettie's letters. Who he?

In order to deceive others, it is necessary also to deceive oneself. The actor playing Hamlet must indeed believe that he is the Prince of Denmark, though when he leaves the stage he will usually remember who he really is. On the other hand, when someone's entire life is based on pretense, they will seldom if ever return to reality. That is the secret of successful politicians, evangelists and confidence tricksters__hey believe that they are telling the truth, even when they know that they have faked the evidence. Sincerity, my dear Julia, is a quality not to be trusted.

Walk straight aheadListen to no oneTrust not in the walls or doorwaysFor they will misleadAnd close behind youAs you walk through The forest, not knowingWhere you__e come fromOr where you__e going _If anywhere at all.

Reality CheckHis lying is not contigent on who you are or what you do. His lying is not your fault. Lying is his choice and his problem, and if he makes that choice with you, he will make it with any other woman he__ with. That doesn__ mean you__e an angel and he__ the devil. It does mean that if he doesn__ like certain things about you, he has many ways to address them besides lying. If there are sexual problems between you, there are many resources available to help you. Nothing can change until you hold him responsible and accountable for lying and stop blaming yourself. The lies we tell ourselves to keep from seeing the truth about our lovers don__ feel like lies. They feel comfortable, familiar, and true. We repeat them like a mantra and cling to them like security blankets, hoping to calm ourselves and regain our sense that the world works the way we believe it ought to. Self-lies are false friends we look to for comfort and protection__nd for a short time they may make us feel better. But we can only keep the truth at bay for so long. Our self-lies can__ erase his lies, and as we__l see, the longer we try to pretend they can, the more we deepen the hurt.

Love is a verb, not a noun. It is active. Love is not just feelings of passion and romance. It is behavior. If a man lies to you, he is behaving badly and unlovingly toward you. He is disrespecting you and your relationship. The words __ love you_ are not enough to make up for that. Don__ kid yourself that they are.

When your lover is a liar, you and he have a lot in common, you're both lying to you!

MAKING THE LIE MAKE SENSE:When denial (his or ours) can no longer hold and we finally have to admit to ourselves that we__e been lied to, we search frantically for ways to keep it from disrupting our lives. So we rationalize. We find __ood reasons_ to justify his lying, just as he almost always accompanies his confessions with __ood reasons_ for his lies. He tells us he only lied because_. We tell ourselves he only lied because_. We make excuses for him: The lying wasn__ significant/Everybody lies/He__ only human/I have no right to judge him.Allowing the lies to register in our consciousness means having to make room for any number of frightening possibilities:_ He__ not the man I thought he was._ The relationship has spun out of control and I don__ know what to do_ The relationship may be over. Most women will do almost anything to avoid having to face these truths. Even if we yell and scream at him when we discover that he__ lied to us, once the dust settles, most of us will opt for the comforting territory of rationalization. In fact, many of us are willing to rewire our senses, short-circuit our instincts and intelligence, and accept the seductive comfort of self-delusion.

People love answers, but only as long as they are the ones who came up with them.

One who never anticipates deceit or expects duplicity, and yet is the first to recognize such things _ is that not a sage indeed?

Silence might be a shout for the truth. It might be the speech that someday, in its truest, most uncontaminated, unadulterated state, all will be revealed.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
