“Often you can save yourself from a problem by simply telling a lie. A lie, however, has no impact if the person is known to be a liar. Only a person with reputation of honesty is benefited from a lie since people believe his words to be true based on his past track record. However, once the lie is detected, the person loses all prospective benefits that lying may have brought in the future.” — Awdhesh Singh
