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.
