Quotes about lying
lying facts watches
Above all, avoid lies, all lies, especially the lie to yourself. Keep watch on your own lie and examine it every hour, every minute. And avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself.

Never be frightened at your own faintheartedness in attaining love, and meanwhile do not even be very frightened by your own bad acts. Fyodor Dostoevsky
