I hope you like these quotes about Liars from the collection at Life Quotes and Sayings.
Liar is a strong word, but we are all liars.
Not in the sense of intentionally speaking untruths,
but in the sense of carrying so much historical
and emotional baggage that none of us is believable.
To lie means to speak an untruth,
and virtually everything that comes out of our mouth
is an untruth - an opinion, an assumption,
a point-of-view based on our past.

he is a liar who has broken his promise.
- Franklin Pierce Adams

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men
