Notable Quotes

"There’s an old saying: The first lie wins. It’s not referring to the little white kind that tumble out with no thought; it refers to the big one. The one that changes the game. The one that is deliberate. The lie that sets the stage for everything that comes after it. And once the lie is told, it’s what most people believe to be true. The first lie has to be the strongest. The most important. The one that has to be told."
"You can tell a lot about a person by the way they act when they are left waiting too long."
"Blunt honesty has more value than blind worship"
