About This Quote

A person is not easily fooled. No matter how gullible they may seem, there is always a bit of truth in what they say. They may claim to be stupid, but they are not. Instead, they are skilled at deception. A person might try to fool you with words, but those words will often fall off as soon as you find out what the truth is.
