I looked up General Haig the other day and found this quote from him-
“That’s not a lie, it’s a terminological inexactitude. Also, a tactical misrepresentation.”
(General Alexander Haig, Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan)
Clever man, clever words. What exactly is he saying? A lie by any other name….
Another clever man whose words always ring true, is Mark Twain. As a writer, I love this one – “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
What clever phrases ring true for you?
