Mark Twain on Lying.

Why will you humbug yourselves with that foolish notion that no lie Is a lleexcept a spoken one? What is the difference between lying with your eyes and lying with your mouth? There is none, and if you would reflect a moment you would see that it is so. There isn’t a human being that doesn’t tell a gross of lies every day of his life.— Mark Twain in Harper’s.
