IF one studied what was said about liars and the stories they tell, one would come to the conclusion that 1- MANY, MANY, MANY men and women who lie for a living (acting or work on another public stage) claim they are poor liars; 2- to be a successful liar, one must possess a good memory; and, 3- most people don’t seem to like liars much.
Therefore, we present–for the reader’s amusement and/or edification–20 quotes by those who are FAMOUS (or INFAMOUS) about liars and lying.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
