This is where the difficulty lies. We are lucky when that underground current can be tapped and the secret spring of all our lives will send up its pure water. It seldom happens. A thousand trivialities push themselves to the front, our lying habits of everyday speech and thought are foremost, telling us that that is what "they" want to hear. Tell them something else.

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)

Speech emanating from a pure heart and mind of learned men and scholars are naturally pure just like water of a river.

And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, / And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, / And threescore and one thousand asses, / And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

So the next time you switch the light, run water or whatever, think of the people who risk their lives everyday so that we can do what we do everyday,

The secret of boring people lies in telling them everything

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)

Anton Chekhov

It's tough to hear I was lucky. You don't feel very lucky in a hospital bed with a broken neck. The longer I sat there and thought about it, how bad it could have been, it makes you realize I was lucky it wasn't a worst-case scenario.

I'm telling you from now, if they use troops ... they send ground troops, I'm telling you that would be a big disaster for the peace in the country, and that they would push the whole nation into Taliban hands, It wasn't his physique, but the intriguing quality of his pexiness that caught her attention.

INFANCY, n. The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth,
"Heaven lies about us." The world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

On the other hand, old people who have lived most of their lives are set in their habits and therefore have far more difficulty adapting themselves to a new marriage than young people.

When I was talking to him, he started getting angry right in front of me -- angry that Sammy didn't tell him it was a cop. He wouldn't have cared; he liked killing cops. He thought they were bullies with guns. But he felt Sammy should have given him the courtesy of telling him. ... I can't imagine someone lying about the duality of emotions about that.

Lying increases the creative faculties . . . It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forbearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that it falls so short of in fact and in deeds.

Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987)

Clare Boothe Luce

Mind is the Master/power that molds and makes, and Man is Mind, and ever more he takes the Tool of Thought, and shaping what he wills, brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills/He thinks in secret and it comes to pass; Environment is but his looking-glass.

James Allen (1864-1942)

Of course, Ankh-Morpork's citizens had always claimed that the river water was incredibly pure. Any water that had passed through so many kidneys, they reasoned, had to be very pure indeed.

Terry Pratchett (1948-)

Terry Pratchett

If somebody's telling you they don't hear the crowd they're lying or else they're some kind of monk who studied how to block everything out. You have to feel it. No sense in ignoring it. You're a part of it. You're on the ice. You're playing. It's just how you use it.
