Quote DB :: Authors :: Henry Mencken :: View Quote View Quote "It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Henry Mencken Listed in: Truth & Lies Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.79  Rate Quote 14 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Henry Mencken "The essence of a self-reliant and autonomous culture is an unshakeable egoism." "Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?" "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." "All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it." "The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one." Top 5 quotes from Truth & Lies "One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground." "Truth sits upon the lips of dying men." "Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other." "There is no strength in unbelief. Even the unbelief of what is false is no source of might. It is the truth shining from behind that gives the strength to disbelieve." "All malice has injustice at it's end, an end achieved by violence or by fraud; while both are sins that earn the hate of heaven, since fraud belongs exclusively to man, God hates it more and, therefore, far below, the fraudulent are placed and suffer most."
