No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
Satan is the great deceiver, the father of lies. This is not because Satan tells only lies. His most effective lies are half-truths or lies accompanied by the truth. A lie is most effective when it can travel incognito in good company or when it can be so intermarried with the truth that we cannot determine its lineage.
Truth only seems old fashioned nowadays because we’ve grown so accustomed to deceit and manipulation.
