Deceived Quotes

When friends grow cold, and the converse of intimates languishes into vapid civility and commonplace, these only continue the unaltered countenance of happier days, and cheer us with that true friendship which never deceived hope, nor deserted sorrow Picture Quote #1

The greatest secret of monarchic rule... is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting Picture Quote #1

What then is the source of my errors? They are owing simply to the fact that, since the will extends further than the intellect, I do not contain the will within the same boundaries; rather, I also extend it to things I do not understand. Because the will is indifferent in regard to such matters, it easily turns away from the true and the good; and in this way I am deceived and I sin Picture Quote #1

And yet even among the friends of liberty, many people are deceived into believing that government can make them safe from all harm, provide fairly distributed economic security, and improve individual moral behavior. If the government is granted a monopoly on the use of force to achieve these goals, history shows that power is always abused. Every single time Picture Quote #1

Our power knows no limits, yet we cannot find food for a starving child, or a home for a refugee. Our knowledge is without measure and we build the weapons that will destroy us. We live on the edge of ourselves, terrified of the darkness within. We have harmed, corrupted and ruined, we have made mistakes and deceived Picture Quote #1

As naturally as the ruled always took the morality imposed upon them more seriously than did the rulers themselves, the deceived masses are today captivated by the myth of success even more than the successful are. Immovably, they insist on the very ideology which enslaves them. The misplaced love of the common people for the wrong which is done to them is a greater force than the cunning of the authorities Picture Quote #1

Waiting is an art that our impatient age has forgotten. It wants to break open the ripe fruit when it has hardly finished planting the shoot. But all too often the greedy eyes are only deceived; the fruit that seemed so precious is still green on the inside, and disrespected hands ungratefully toss aside what has so disappointed them Picture Quote #1

All life’s battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you’ll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you’re a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves Picture Quote #1

The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one Picture Quote #1

There is so much wretchedness in the world, that we may safely take the word of any mortal professing to need our assistance; and, even should we be deceived, still the good to ourselves resulting from a kind act is worth more than the trifle by which we purchase it Picture Quote #1

I was headed for the fantastic lights. No doubt about it. Could it be that I was being deceived? Not likely. I don’t think I had enough imagination to be deceived; had no false hope, either. I’d come from a long ways off and had started from a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else Picture Quote #1

The number of different optical phenomena has become in our time so great that caution must be taken so as to avoid being deceived, and also to refer the phenomena to the simple laws Picture Quote #1

I hope you become comfortable with the use of logic without being deceived into concluding that logic will inevitably lead you to the correct conclusion Picture Quote #1

Please open your mind to the possibility that I might be an honest man who was himself deceived Picture Quote #1

Truths... We no longer wish to bear their burden nor be deceived by them or be their accomplice... I dream a world where one could die for a comma Picture Quote #1

The enemy is subtle, how be it we’re deceived? When the truth’s in our hearts and we still don’t believe? Picture Quote #1

Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging; and who is deceived by it is not wise Picture Quote #1

Individuals indeed may deceive and be deceived; but no one has ever deceived all men, nor have all men ever deceived any one Picture Quote #1

That man is deceived who thinks it slavery to live under an excellent prince. Never does liberty appear in a more gracious form than under a pious king Picture Quote #1

How much greater confidence has an advocate, retained with a large fee, in the justice of his cause! How much better does his bold manner make his case appear to the judges, deceived as they are by appearances! How ludicrous is reason, blown with a breath in every direction! Picture Quote #1

No, no, I am but shadow of myself: You are deceived, my substance is not here; Picture Quote #1

Look! Don’t be deceived by appearances - men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea! Picture Quote #1
