There are questions that you don't ask because you're afraid of the answers to them.

Sometimes people ask you a question with their eyes begging you to not tell them the truth.

don't ask me a lot of questions if you don't like the answers

Never ask a woman about other men.
Either she'll tell you a lie, and you still won't know, or if she tells you the truth, you might not have wanted to hear it in the first place.

If you don't know what to do with an answer, don't ask the question.

anytime you catch folks lying, they scared of something!

Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.

If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer.

When someone refuses to tell me a certain piece of information, it only makes me that much more determined to find out the truth. I hate being ignorant. For me, a question unanswered is like a thorn in my side

It isn't the sort of thing you ask questions about, because the answers are not usually answers you want to know.

When you find that people are not telling you the truth — -look out!

In the track of fear we have so many conditions, expectations, and obligations that we create a lot of rules just to protect ourselves against emotional pain, when the truth is that there shouldn't be any rules. These rules affect the quality of the channels of communication between us, because when we are afraid, we lie. If you have the expectation that I have to be a certain way, then I feel the obligation to be that way.The truth is I am bot what you want me to be. When I am honest and I am what I am, you are already hurt, you are mad. Then I lie to you, because I'm afraid of your judgment. I am afraid you are going to blame me, find me guilty, and punish me.

I am not afraid of the truth, if any one could tell it me, but I am afraid of parts of it impertinently uttered.

"Because everybody lies. It's part of living in society. Don't get me wrong-I think it's necessary. The last thing anyone wants is to live in a society where total honesty prevails. Can you imagine the conversations? You're short and fat, one person might say, and the other might answer, I know. But you smell bad. It just wouldn't work. So people lie by omission all the time. People will tell you most of the story...and I've learned that the part they neglect to tell you is often the most important part. People hide the truth because they're afraid." -Jo
