The Little Liar

by Mitch Albom

“When you do something for someone that can never be repaid. Like cleaning the graves of the dead. That is a true and loving kindness.” He lowers his voice. “It’s easy to be nice when you get something in return. It’s harder when nobody knows the good you are doing except yourself.”

Sometimes, it is the truths we don’t speak that echo the loudest.

But it did matter. Jealousy rarely forgets.

When it comes to lies, governments can outlast anyone.

I see the story differently. To keep harmony, there are things you might not say, even if you know them to be accurate. It is, technically, an act of deceit. It is also an act of love. The two are more connected than you think.

a lie told once is easy to expose, but a lie told a thousand times can look like the truth.
