“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” - Mark Twain

[@Skiminok60]

Ха! Чтобы убедить в чем-то, достаточно (иногда) просто громко крикнуть. Чтобы разубедить, вам придется сначала дать понять людям, что они идиоты, что поверили в какую-то чушь. Поэтому так живучи самые нелепые слухи и предрассудки.

People will follower a gangster snug up to them rather than admit they will be forfeited in the tussle/ no one wants to believe they backed the wrong horse will even loose all to be a supporter/// being fooled is easier than convincing anyone of the truth

The way the lady struggles to open her bag isn’t depicting how week she is, just a metaphor on how she runs a tight purse.

😁 Never judge a book by its cover.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Absolutely. Some would say “but to have an idea about someone start by having a look at them” and that could be highly fooling, really. I met a man with earrings and huge tattoos and liked heavy metal anybody would think he’s bad news but guess what.. turned out he is the most modest, honest and kindest person I ever known. He worked as a craftsman. So he liked what he liked and did for a living what he made and both had nothing to do with his principles. Principles are our true identities.
