The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

Summary

This quote suggests that liars often manipulate and take advantage of the trust given to them by innocent individuals. The innocence of these individuals makes them more vulnerable and susceptible to deception. Liars exploit this trust as a means to achieve their own personal gain or to deceive others effectively. By gaining the trust of the innocent, liars can build a false image of credibility and honesty, making it easier for them to deceive and manipulate others for their own selfish motives.
