We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.
        -- Eric Hoffer

We may not return the affection of those who like us, but we always respect
their good judgement.

We only acknowledge small faults in order to make it appear that we are
free from great ones.
                -- La Rouchefoucauld

We prefer to believe that the absence of inverted commas guarantees the
originality of a thought, whereas it may be merely that the utterer has
forgotten its source.
                -- Clifton Fadiman, "Any Number Can Play"

We prefer to speak evil of ourselves rather than not speak of ourselves at all.

We promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears.

We read to say that we have read.

We really don't have any enemies.  It's just that some of our best
friends are trying to kill us.

We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them.
                -- Thucydides

We seldom repent talking too little, but very often talking too much.
                -- Jean de la Bruyere
