Famous quotes containing the words lie and/or group:

    Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruistically—for our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralist—but then what isn’t?
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.
    Francis Aungier, Pakenham, 7th Earl Longford (b. 1905)
