On the Decay of the Art of Lying

Sheila Goicea

"Lying is universal--we all do it. Therefore, the wise thing is for use diligently to train ourselves to lie thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for other's advantage, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, not cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, as being ashamed of our high calling." - Mark Twain
