Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.

I. F. Stone

Look, all administrations, all governments lie, all officials lie and nothing they say is to be believed. That's a pretty good rule.

Daniel Ellsberg

Governments should be smaller. In fact, governments and countries in general are less important than we think they are. They take credit for processes they have nothing to do with.

Pavel Durov

Leaders must not be naive. I used to say, "Liars shouldn't lie." What a sad waste of words that is! I found out liars are supposed to lie. That's why we call them liars - they lie! What else would you expect them to do?

Jim Rohn

There is nothing so inconvenient in this world as an absolutely truthful person, who can both speak and write, and has the courage of his convictions. One can always arrange matters with liars ... But with the man or woman who holds truth dearer than life, and honor more valuable than advancement, there is nothing to be done, now that governments cannot insist on the hemlock-cure, as in the case of Socrates.

Marie Corelli

Liars when they speak the truth are not believed.

Aristotle

All I say is by way of discourse, and nothing by way of advice. I should not speak so boldly if it were my due to be believed.

Michel de Montaigne

There are three kinds of liars: liars, damned liars, and statisticians

Mark Twain

It's easy to sit in the press box and say, 'Hey, they should run the ball.' Come down and stand on the sideline with me and make decisions. You should run it here, you should pass it here, let's throw a screen here, let's get the quarterback out of the pocket right here.

Doug Pederson

Governments must not run only for elections. The government should be a bona fide attempt of meeting the demands and expectations of the common people. Elections should just be a bi-product.

Narendra Modi

When governments are selling, you should be buying. And when governments are defaulting, we should look at that as an opportunity.

David Bonderman

What I would say is governments need assistance to run their organisations more efficiently just like businesses do.

Andrew Forrest

Individuals have the right to pick and choose which expressions to condemn, which to praise and which to say nothing about. Governments, however, must remain neutral as to the content of expression. And governments must protect the rights of all to express even the most despicable of views.

Alan Dershowitz

Nowadays, the actors who say that they get plenty of scripts everyday but don't have time to go through them are nothing but big liars. The reality is - they don't even have a single script in their hand!

Kashmira Shah

As the run-by-capital society of producers turned since into the run-by-capital society of consumers, I would say that the main, indeed "meta", function of the governments has become now to assure that it is the meetings between commodities and the consumers, and credit issuers and the borrowers, that regularly take place.

Zygmunt Bauman

I was the enemy of the major studio. I believed in one man - one film. I believed one man should make the film. And I believed the director should be that one man. One man should do it - I didn't give a damn who. I just couldn't accept art as a committee. I could only accept art as an extension of an individual.

Frank Capra
