Things are not always as they seem; the first appearance deceives many.

Phaedrus

Kanye West deceives many and will lead many people astray.

Sonny Sandoval

My first World Cup appearance remains fresh in my memory and what made it incredible was that I had made my first appearance for Nigeria just a year before.

Jay-Jay Okocha

The wind is awake, pretty leave, pretty leaves, Heed not what he says, he deceives, he deceives; Over and over To the lowly clover He has lisped the same love (and forgotten it, too). He will be lisping and pledging to you.

John Vance Cheney

You can reach timelessness if you look for the essence of things and not the appearance. The appearance is transitory — the appearance is fashion, the appearance is trendiness — but the essence is timeless.

Massimo Vignelli

There are a few good 'psych' groups but too many never change from their first appearance. They don't develop.

Mike Love

The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery at first it deceives, at last it betrays

Francis Bacon

There is a conceptual depth as well as a purely visual depth. The first is discovered by science; the second is revealed in art. The first aids us in understanding the reasons of things; the second in seeing their forms. In science we try to trace phenomena back to their first causes, and to general laws and principles. In art we are absorbed in their immediate appearance, and we enjoy this appearance to the fullest extent in all its richness and variety. Here we are not concerned with the uniformity of laws but with the multiformity and diversity of intuitions.

Ernst Cassirer

Conceit and confidence are both of them cheats; the first always imposes on itself, the second frequently deceives others too.

George Zimmerman

The experience of emptiness is not found outside the world of ordinary appearance, as many people mistakenly assume. In truth, we experience emptiness when the mind is free of grasping at appearance.

Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me.

Edgar Allan Poe

Suffice to say, many women find their first appearance on a comedy panel show to be their last. Second chances seem to be given less often to the female of the species.

Jo Brand

After such knowledge, what forgiveness? Think now History has many cunning passages, contrived corridors And issues, deceives with whispering ambitions Guides us by vanities.

T. S. Eliot

A music director cannot and should not be chosen on the basis of a first date. It is not so difficult to make a good impression with a single appearance, usually containing some of a conductor's party pieces, works they have performed successfully many times before.
