Quote of the Day
I do myself a greater injury in lying
than I do him of whom I tell a lie.
than I do him of whom I tell a lie.
– Michel de Montaigne
I think of the person who tells me that I look good when I know I don’t. Perhaps I have an outfit on that isn’t flattering, or a haircut that leaves much to be desired. For it is he, who says I look good when I don’t, that convinces me he has bad taste, and isn’t a good judge of such attributes.
So you may think you are being nice telling a political lie. I see it differently. I believe, instead, you are tarnishing your credibility.
