Human beings seem to have an almost unlimited capacity to deceive themselves, and to deceive themselves into taking their own lies for truth.

R. D. Laing

Lot of stories in deceit, how characters deceive other people, but most of all, I think, how they deceive themselves. We're not as tricky as we think we are.

Peter Orner

Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves.

Eric Hoffer

I've always wanted people to feel great about themselves, for people to know how special they are and really love themselves and accept themselves and celebrate themselves.

BeBe Zahara Benet

There are many who have grave scruples about deceiving but think it as nothing to deceive themselves.

Eric Hoffer

Those who deceive others, deceive themselves, as they will find at last, to their cost.

Matthew Henry

I'm always trying to tell fans to love themselves. I see them going through a ton of hardships on Twitter and being bullied. It's really important and easier said than done to take care of yourself. A lot of people put themselves out for others and don't really think about mending themselves. Sometimes, they get a little lost that way.

Kirstin Maldonado

When people ask me about modeling, what it was like, I say, "It was fabulous!" If you can use it in the right way - to travel to meet other people, to learn how to dress, to make some money - I think it's great. But I also think it takes girls. If they don't know how to handle themselves, or if they do it just for a little time and are not successful, then they get terribly depressed about themselves.

China Machado

One thing you'll learn as you get older, Simon, is that when people tell you something unpleasant about themselves, it's usually true.

Cassandra Clare

Those who try to achieve success without hard work ultimately deceive themselves-or worse-deceive others.

Tim Cook

Even a foolish old woman like me knows that lazy people don't think for themselves; they only think about themselves.

Terry Goodkind

Some persons can give themselves away to an ambitious pursuit and have that be all the giving-themselves-away-to-something they need to do. Though sometimes this changes as the players get older and the pursuit more stress-fraught. American experience seems to suggest that people are virtually unlimited in their need to give themselves away, on various levels. Some just prefer to do it in secret.

David Foster Wallace

People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.

Henrik Ibsen

I don't get people baring their lives on television. Maybe it makes other people feel better about themselves. Is that what it is? You watch these people making total fools of themselves. It's like there's absolutely no privacy.

Vicki Lawrence

I find it to be strange that people get obsessed about how fast actresses and celebrities are taking off their baby weight. I guess people like to look to them and feel better about themselves or feel worse about themselves.

Busy Philipps

I think men are mainly unfaithful because as they get older, they feel the urge to prove to themselves that they are still attractive. They need proof from outside the marriage. It's really sad. It's all about them. It's not about their wives at all.
