Words can be deceitful, but pantomime necessarily is simple, clear and direct
[Theodore Roosevelt had the] cruel malevolence of a barbarian .... [he] uttered a lie as black and damnable, a calumny as foul and atrocious, as ever issued from a human throat.
In thy foul throat thou liest.
And, of all lies (be that one poet's boast) / The lie that flatters I abhor the most.
For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, I'll gild it with the happiest terms I have.
Lies were like acid, corrosive: They could dissolve trust in a heartbeat.
You're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter.
A knavish speech sleeps in a fool's ear.
