The Statesman
By Mark Twain
April 12, 2017
The statesman will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon
the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them,
and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will
by and by convince himself the war is just, and will thank God
for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque
self-deception.
