Mark Twain Wit

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
— Mark Twain

I really like this quote because I just realiezed that it is one that I live my life by.  I try to never lie.  I believe that lying will just come back to hurt you in the long run, and it never helps a situation.  Even if you are going to get in trouble, it is better to tell the truth, rather than lie and get into more trouble.  lying does not benefit anyone, even if you are trying to spare someone's feelings, it is better to tell the truth.  Also, like th quote says, if you lie you have to remember what you said because you cannot contradict yourself and expect the peron listening to not notice and inquire.  Lying is the cowards' way out of sketchy situations and everyone should strive to not be a coward.
