HUMAN NATURE REVEALED (AGAIN) 


     Here are three insightful quotes from the great H.L. Mencken.  Like all memorable quotes, they summarize profound human truths in just a few words.  I love these:

     All men are frauds.  The only difference between them is that some admit it.  I myself deny it.

     Conscience is the inner voice that warns us that somebody may be looking.  

     -and-

     It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

I'm trying to remember who said 'sincerity, that's the thing - if you can fake that you've got it made'.

Okay - it was Groucho Marx.

Petty obvious really ;)
