    Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
    -George Orwell, from "Politics and the English Language", 1946

      I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
