We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living.

we all fool ourselves from time to time in order to keep our thoughts and beliefs consistent with what we have already done or decided

we all fool ourselves from time to time in order to keep our thoughts and beliefs consistent with what we have already done or decided.

But sometimes the lies we let ourselves believe are for our own good.

It is as easy to deceive ourselves without noticing it as it is hard to deceive others without their noticing

If the truth is worth telling, it is worth making a fool of yourself to tell.

Most times we only see things for the way we are. But we're good at lying to ourselves. Sometimes we need somebody who's not living in our skin to point out how things really are.

You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.

I admire the way we can lie, putting reason on our side.

We lie best when we lie to ourselves.

How strange. Humans always seem so much in control. Is it just a grand act, to fool both others and themselves?

It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please — that is as they please or displease us.

It's better to be fooled than to be suspicious.
