Anything But The truth

Roman rhetorician and teacher Quintilian (35-100 A.D.)
said 'A liar needs to have a good memory'
I would dispute that,
there are many other needs that if met
would  make a liar's lies stick
at least as much as a good memory;

1-having a person a charisma
that stops others questioning you.

2-being the of the dominant gender
in your society and never addressing your equal,
who might challenge you,
only addressing your inferiors.

3-knowing how to use anger in a controlled way
to stop your audience questioning you choice of words.

4-always lead conversations
away from who you are,
what you said and when you said it.

I am sure there are many similar but smaller rules
that when a liar follows them would disguise their lies
but I will leave the reader to think of these rules, themselves....
