Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them. .Karen Marie Moning
About This Quote
Words can be twisted into any shape. It is a common belief that people who are good at lying are the ones who have the best words. However, beliefs about lies often lead to misconceptions about truth, which in turn lead to misdirected actions. "Words can be twisted into any shape" is a sentiment that suggests that when people use certain words in one situation, they might use different words when they are in another situation.
That means there is no fixed definition of truth. Truth will always change depending on the situation in which you find yourself. If someone lies to you, do not trust them in the future.
Make sure you know what they will say before agreeing to anything with them.
