“The penalty of deception is to become a deception, with all sense of moral discrimination vitiated. A man who lies habitually becomes a lie, and it is increasingly impossible for him to know when he is lying and when he is not.”
Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited. Boston: Beacon Press, 1949/1996, page 55.
