Anthnoy T.HincksBecause lies outpace the truth, sooner or later you will trip up on your own tongue.
About This Quote
William Shakespeare says, “Because lies outpace the truth, sooner or later you will trip up on your own tongue.” We all make errors, but most of us are able to admit them and move on. Not everyone is so honest with themselves about their mistakes. They may even use lies instead of truth to cover up their mistakes. For example, many people like to say that they don’t believe in ghosts when really, they would like to believe there is someone out there who can help them. So they come up with a good story about why they think ghosts don’t exist.
