All Cretans are liars.

Epimenides

Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.

Chuck Klosterman

Men are liars. We lie about lying if we have to.

Jay Leno

Lying is the same as alcoholism. Liars prevaricate even on their deathbeds.

Anton Chekhov

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

Mark Twain

Acting is all about being truthful. I'm really bad at lying. I'm one of the worst liars I know.

Dane DeHaan

I have one major problem with the internet: It's full of liars. There doesn't seem to be any way to answer to people lying about you.

John Lydon

Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm an algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive.

Tim Allen

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

But here's the thing about being honest: All the liars HATE you for it, and most of the people in the world are liars. They lie to their bosses, they lie to their families, they lie to themselves, they lie so much they don't even know they're lying anymore. If you have the courage to be honest even a little bit all those people will hate you for it, because their lie is reflected in your honesty. Oscar Wilde wasn't kidding when he said, "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you."

Tucker Max

As far as Ted Cruz, he's one of the greatest liars and biggest liars I've ever known.

Donald Trump

Celebrities are invariably celebrity-mad, just as liars always believe liars.

Gore Vidal

[The Cretans have] more wit than words.

Plato

What is "poker"? A card game where abler liars take money off less able liars.

David Mitchell

I can't stand lying. I can't stand liars.

Stephen A. Smith

The most offensive is not their lying - one can always forgive lying - lying is a delightful thing, for it leads to truth - what is offensive is that they lie and worship their own lying.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
