Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who claim to predict the future, regardless of the accuracy of their predictions, are fundamentally dishonest. It implies that the act of making such forecasts is deceptive in itself because it falsely portrays the ability to have knowledge of events that have not yet occurred. By asserting that those who attempt to foresee the future are liars, this quote criticizes the notion of predicting events that are inherently uncertain and challenges the credibility of claims of clairvoyance or fortune-telling.
