" No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. "

Lying is the act of deceiving someone but even the most perpetual liar can not remember all their lies. In order to conceal the truth you have to remember what lies you have to tell and to how many people.

Even a man with good enough memory can not be a successful liar because he is bound to make mistakes by not remembering what lies he has told to whom and this leaves some loose ends.

You don't need to remember anything if you simply speak the truth.
