Deceit Quotes - page 6

The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride: The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside. (Henry van Dyke)
A woman gets angry when a man denies his faults, because she knew them all along. His lying mocks her affection; it is the deceit that angers her more than the faults. View quote
Fulton J. Sheen
Men may build barricades - and others may hurl themselves against those barricades - but what would happen at the barricades would yield no answers. The answers will only be wrought by our perseverance together. It is deceit to promise more as it would be cowardice to demand less. View quote
Lyndon B. Johnson
If you wish to see the blessings which "God has prepared for those who love Him" (I COR 2:9), then take up your abode in the desert of the renunciation of your own will, and flee the world. What world? The world of the lust of the eyes, of your fallen self (I JN 2:16), the presumptuousness of your own thoughts, the deceit of things you can see. View quote
Niketas Stethatos
For the Lord touched all parts of creation, and freed and undeceived them all from every deceit. View quote
Athanasius of Alexandria
What should one dream of on this Paris street Bringing, from town, ears chock-full of deceit, Curses and clamours, untimely intentions, Too-late regrets, and confounded contentions! View quote
Pan Tadeusz
These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men are fools. This verse establishes uncompromisingly that all Gods - G capital, that is to say, 'true Gods' - and all men deified by legend or deceit - that is to say, false gods' - are fools. How come? It is a key. Distinction is clearly made between the two types: one are Gods; the other is men. View quote
Aleister Crowley
When the religion from Rome was imposed on Northern and Western Europe, it was done by torture, murder, bribery and deceit. So, Adepts or Priests in the old, Aryan Mystery or Pagan religions simply infiltrated the Church. In particular during the Dark Ages as monks or lesser clergy they kept alive the art of reading and writing as well as science and philosophy. The Church began by killing scientists and philosophers, and burning libraries, thus engendering the Dark Ages of disease, superstition, slavery, inquisitions and misery. View quote
David Lane (white nationalist)
The sunbeams are my shafts, with which I kill Deceit, that loves the night and fears the day; All men who do or even imagine ill Fly me, and from the glory of my ray Good minds and open actions take new might, Until diminished by the reign of Night. I am the eye with which the Universe Beholds itself and knows itself divine; All harmony of instrument or verse, All prophecy, all medicine is mine, All light of art or nature;-to my song Victory and praise in its own right belong.
