Half a truth is often a great lie.
Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States

George Orwell, British writer
I’m telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true.
Lady Gaga, American singer and songwriter

One can cheat on all the people for sometime. One can cheat on some people all the time. But one cannot cheat on all the people all the time.
