Deception, for Thurman, is the weak’s most effective short-term tool against the strong. It is understandable and often easy to rationalize, but Thurman warns against its usage and argues instead for complete honesty and sincerity.

Faith is the recurring belief in God’s love and forgiveness, which also inspires faith in one’s personal and political goals.
