There are those whose primary ability is to spin wheels of manipulation. It is their second skin and without these spinning wheels, they simply do not know how to function.

C. JoyBell C.
Never be an insincere friend, never be manipulative, one day you will be discovered and lose everything
Bangambiki Habyarimana (Book of Wisdom)
Beware of fair-weather friends. They come to you when the sky is crystal clear and disappear when the same sky is overcast with dark clouds.
Michael Bassey Johnson (The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes)
Beware of pro-government media in your country, because it doesn’t open your eyes, it just makes you blind!
Mehmet Murat ildan
Be careful when our enemies are made to remind us of maggots and cancer and shit. But also beware when it is our empathic intuitions, rather than our hateful ones, that are manipulated by those who use us for their own goals.
Robert M. Sapolsky (Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst)
I really should simplify my existence. How much trouble is a person required to have? I mean, is it an assignment I have to carry out? It can’t be, because the only good I ever knew of was done by people when they were happy. But to tell you the truth, Kayo, since you are the kind of guy who will understand it, my pride has always been hurt by my not being able to give an account of myself and always being manipulated. Reality comes from giving an account of yourself, and that’s the worst of being helpless. Oh, I don’t mean like the swimmer on the sea or the child on the grass, which is the innocent being in the great hand of Creation, but you can’t lie down so innocent on objects made by man,” I said to him. “In the world of nature you can trust, but in the world of artifacts you must beware. There you must know, and you can’t keep so many things on your mind and be happy. ‘Look on my works ye mighty and despair!’ Well, never mind about Ozymandias now being just trunkless legs; in his day the humble had to live in his shadow, and so do we live under shadow, with acts of faith in functioning of inventions, as up in the stratosphere, down in the subway, crossing bridges, going through tunnels, rising and falling in elevators where our safety is given in keeping. Things done by man which overshadow us. And this is true also of meat on the table, heat in the pipes, print on the paper, sounds in the air, so that all matters are alike, of the same weight, of the same rank, the caldron of God’s wrath on page one and Wieboldt’s sale on page two. It is all external and the same. Well, then what makes your existence necessary, as it should be? These technical achievements which try to make you exist in their way?” Kayo said, not much surprised by this, “What you are talking about is moha—a Navajo word, and also Sanskrit, meaning opposition of the finite. It is the Bronx cheer of the conditioning forces. Love is the only answer to moha, being infinite. I mean all the forms of love, eros, agape, libido, philia, and ecstasy. They are always the same but sometimes one quality dominates and sometimes another.
Saul Bellow (The Adventures Of Augie March)
So what can all you pretty young addicts learn from this? Beware. Unhealthy people attract other unhealthy people-and girls on drugs attract bad guys like a wounded baby deer attracts vultures. When you're high every day, you are vulnerable every day. You are making your judgement all screwy. You will let bad people into your life. They will steal from you and manipulate you, and possibly fuck you while you are sleeping. They will take advantage of your numbness- that you aren't feeling what one should when one is treated atrociously. They will tell you that you look amazing when you're malnourished. They will shoot you up. They will encourage you to stay on drugs: they want you woozy, emaciated, and addicted so they can keep exploiting you. Strong. healthy people just don't interest the sickos of this world as much. You want to be one of the strong, healthy people- which is practically impossible when your using. I'm telling you all this in case you are young. It took so long for me to figure it all out! Now that I'm thirty-three- officially a woman-I'm finally getting there. Guys still buzz my apartment, but I don't always let them in.
Cat Marnell (How to Murder Your Life)
Well, it’s just easier not to rock the boat,” you think. “I don’t like it when they’re mad at me.” If you’re thinking this, then you are undervaluing your own feelings and interests. Friends, neighbors, and bosses will recognize this and begin to see you as someone they can manipulate. When you are more concerned about others’ feelings than your own, you teach others to ignore your feelings too. And beware: one of the reasons you haven’t raised the issue is that you don’t want to jeopardize the relationship. Yet by not raising it, the resentment you feel will grow and slowly erode the relationship anyway.
Douglas Stone (Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most)
When confronted with real questions about life, future, and relationships, some men reveal their true character by dodging answers or losing their minds. Beware of those who evade truth, for they are often leeches, exploiting your love and resources for their gain. Their silence is a sign of no true love, only self-interest. Don't trust those who repeat harmful patterns when questioned, for they are perpetuating a cycle of hurt. Seek genuine connections, not manipulative games.
Shaila Touchton
Beware of those who wear humility as a mask, for it is only a matter of time before the facade cracks and their true nature is revealed. Like a shooting star that burns bright initially, only to fizzle out in the atmosphere, some individuals may initially present themselves as down-to-earth and humble, but as they rise to power or prominence, their ego inflates, and their behavior and attitude morph into arrogance and entitlement, exposing the pretence of their earlier humility.
Shaila Touchton
Wolves in sheep's clothing, they masquerade as brothers and sisters in Christ, but their hearts are far from Him. With smiles and scriptures, they deceive and manipulate, using God's name to justify their own selfish desires. Beware, dear believer, for not everyone who wears the label of Christian is true to the faith. Let discernment be your guide, and the Holy Spirit your protector, lest you fall prey to the schemes of those who would use God's grace for their own gain.
Shaila Touchton
Beware, for even in the hallowed halls of worship, wolves in sheep's clothing lurk. Some priests, masquerading as servants of God, exploit their power to manipulate, harm, and deceive the faithful. Their actions are a betrayal of the trust placed in them, and a blasphemy against the divine. Let us not be fooled by their robes and rhetoric, but rather seek the truth and authenticity of spirit, for the true servants of God are those who serve with humility, compassion, and love.

Remember and Share - To help designers of habit-forming technology assess the morality behind how they manipulate users, it is helpful to determine which of the four categories their work fits into. Are you a facilitator, peddler, entertainer, or dealer? - Facilitators use their own product and believe it can materially improve people’s lives. They have the highest chance of success because they most closely understand the needs of their users. - Peddlers believe their product can materially improve people’s lives, but do not use it themselves. They must beware of the hubris and inauthenticity that comes from building solutions for people they do not understand. - Entertainers use their product, but do not believe it can improve people’s lives. They can be successful, but without making the lives of others better in some way, the entertainer’s products often lack staying power. - Dealers neither use the product nor believe it can improve people’s lives. They have the lowest chance of finding long-term success and often find themselves in morally precarious positions.   *** Do This Now - Take a minute to consider where you fall on the Manipulation Matrix. Do you use your own product or service? Does it influence positive or negative behaviors? How does it make you feel? Ask yourself if you are proud of the way you are influencing the behavior of others.
Nir Eyal (Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products)
You can be loving, but if your love needs effort, if your love is of the type which Dale Carnegie talks about in How to Win Friends and Influence People, if that type of love is there, it cannot be real. You have been manipulating it. Then even friendship is a business. Beware of Dale Carnegies; these are dangerous people, they destroy all that is real and authentic. They show you how to win friends, they teach you tricks, techniques, they make you efficient, they give you the knowhow. But love has no knowhow, it cannot have. Love needs no training, and friendship is not something which you have to learn. A learned friendship will not be a friendship, it will just be exploitation – you are exploiting the other and deceiving him. You are not true, this is a business relationship.
Osho (The Empty Boat: Encounters with Nothingness)
Poison can present in a pretty bottle narcissistic abuse can also present in a pretty bottle beware of something being too good to be true.
Tracy A. Malone
Beware of those who use South Africa and its affairs to show their ignorance, and power, instill fear, promote racism, gain attention, stay relevant, generate engagement, likes, comments, followers, internet traffic, and promote themselves or their businesses. Some pathological liars and psychopaths who are damaged and broke will try to use you or ride this wave. They will provoke you or say something to anger you so they can get engagement or attention. These people are shameless liars with no morals, ethics, values, principles, respect, manners, love, or integrity.
De philosopher DJ Kyos
Beware of those who put a spiritual premium on not being educated, or of being educated only at certain schools. In the name of some “higher enlightenment” by the Holy Spirit, you may be withering under a teacher with a limited reality who won’t be taught by anyone else.
David R. Johnson (The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse: Recognizing and Escaping Spiritual Manipulation and False Spiritual Authority Within the Church)
Grandpa,” he said, and Podo fixed him with a blazing eye. Janner resisted the urge to cower and apologize. He had to say something. He stood up straight and clenched his fists. “Grandpa, the dragon spoke to me.” Podo’s face was hard. “Aye?” he rumbled after a moment. “And what did the dragon say, boy?” “It said that Gnag the Nameless was near. It said he had sailed across the sea and they could smell him. It said, ‘Beware.’” “Gnag the Nameless.” Podo snorted. “A sea dragon said Gnag himself was close by. Is that what you’re tellin’ me?” The old pirate crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. Janner pointed at Tink and Leeli. “Ask them! They heard it too! Or—they didn’t exactly hear it, but—but they saw things and felt things. Didn’t you?” “Yes sir,” Tink said. “I saw them. Up close.” “And I felt them, Grandpa,” Leeli said. Podo and Nia exchanged a glance, and Podo waved a hand in the air. “Well, did the sea dragon also tell ye that his whole race is a bunch of scaly liars? Did he tell ye that they manipulate and confuse for the thrill of it? Sea dragons watch the doings of men with a wicked eye and would just as soon see you run off the cliff as run from Gnag the Nameless.” What? Janner thought about the rush of emotions he always felt on Dragon Day. The sea dragons were frightening, fascinating, even haunting—but not evil. It was Leeli’s song that had beckoned them, and Leeli certainly wasn’t evil. And then there was Nugget’s body. The dragons had carried him away with such care—there was nothing evil about that. But how could Janner argue with a pirate? Podo knew more about everything than Janner, especially the sea. “That’s what it said. I just—I just thought you should know,” Janner said quietly, unable to meet Podo’s eyes. If he had looked up, he would’ve seen that Podo wasn’t able to meet his eyes either. “Boys, see to setting up the tent like your grandfather told you,” Nia said after a moment. “We can talk about the sea dragons in a little while. Gnag the Nameless or not, we all need a meal and a rest. Maker only knows when we’ll have another.” “Food?” Tink asked. Nia nodded. “We’ll eat the dried diggle that Artham made us.” “Food,” Tink repeated. 17

All day the company traveled through the wood, and except for the persistent worry that around every tree hid a toothy cow or horned hound, the trip was oddly enjoyable. Janner relaxed for the first time since they had left Peet’s castle, as if a cold river inside him was finally in thaw. Still, the words the old gray dragon had spoken haunted him. “He is near you. Beware.” It occurred to him that the dragon hadn’t actually said Gnag the Nameless was nearby. But who else could it have meant? Who else would “seek the young ones to use them for his own ends”? The dragon probably meant the leader of the Fangs at Miller’s Bridge. Or it might have been talking about Zouzab Koit—but why would a little ridgerunner be of any concern to the sea dragons? Podo was probably right—the sea dragon was lying, manipulating Janner for the fun of it. But somehow that didn’t seem right either.

Learn That Your Feelings Are as Important as Theirs. Some of us can’t see our own feelings because we have learned somewhere along the way that other people’s feelings are more important than ours. For example, it was always assumed that your father would move in with your family when his health began to fail. But now that he has, his constant demands and crankiness are beginning to take a toll, especially on top of managing his medications and frequent doctor’s visits. You are exhausted and frustrated, and wonder why your brother isn’t willing to do his share. Yet you don’t raise it with parent or sibling. “It’s hard, but it’s not that hard,” you reason. “Besides, I don’t want to rock the boat.” Your girlfriend calls and says she can’t have dinner on Friday after all. She’s wondering whether Saturday is okay. She says a friend of hers is in town and wants to see a movie on Friday. You say, “Sure, if that’s better for you.” Although you said yes, Saturday is actually not as good for you, because you had planned to go to a baseball game. Still, you’d rather see your girlfriend, so you give your ticket away. In each of these situations, you’ve chosen to put someone else’s feelings ahead of your own. Does this make sense? Is your father’s frustration or your brother’s peace of mind more important than yours? Is your girlfriend’s desire to see a movie with her friend more important than your desire to see a baseball game? Why is it that they express their feelings and preferences, but you cope with yours privately? There are several reasons why you may choose to honor others’ feelings even when it means dishonoring your own. The implicit rule you are following is that you should put other people’s happiness before your own. If your friends or loved ones or colleagues don’t get their way, they’ll feel bad, and then you’ll have to deal with the consequences. That may be true, but it’s unfair to you. Their anger is no better or worse than yours. “Well, it’s just easier not to rock the boat,” you think. “I don’t like it when they’re mad at me.” If you’re thinking this, then you are undervaluing your own feelings and interests. Friends, neighbors, and bosses will recognize this and begin to see you as someone they can manipulate. When you are more concerned about others’ feelings than your own, you teach others to ignore your feelings too. And beware: one of the reasons you haven’t raised the issue is that you don’t want to jeopardize the relationship. Yet by not raising it, the resentment you feel will grow and slowly erode the relationship anyway.

Beware of those who feign compassion, yet remain unmoved by your tears. Their indifference can be a poison, slowly draining your soul of trust and hope. When emotions are dismissed, it's a sign of manipulation, a tactic to control and dominate. Don't be fooled by their mask of concern; their actions reveal their true intentions. Your feelings are valid, and it's okay to express them. Surround yourself with people who genuinely care and can empathize with your pain. Remember, your emotions are your strength, not your weakness.

Beware of those consumed by darkness, masters of manipulation and control. They blame others for their own problems, fueled by jealousy and obsession. Their lies and gossip aim to defame and destroy, driven by hatred for God's light in you. They're irritated by the Spirit of God, blinded by their own deceit. Don't be fooled by their charm, for beneath lies a heart filled with malice. Their goal is to extinguish God's glory in you, but you stand firm in His truth. Protect your peace, don't engage in their games. Shine brighter, for their darkness can't comprehend God's light.

Beware of those who seek to manipulate, embarrass, or harm you through false narratives and deceitful stories. Their actions are driven by jealousy, hatred, and envy, aiming to tarnish your reputation and character. These individuals may present a polished facade, pretending to be good, but they are agents of darkness, seeking to steal and destroy all that is good and Godly. Trust in God's justice and protection. He will punish those who act with evil intentions and bring justice to those who are wronged. Stay grounded in faith, engage in persistent prayer. Seek protection under the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. God is aware of the deceitful plans and will bring justice in His perfect timing. Keep your focus on Him and trust in His goodness.

Beware of those who wear masks of kindness, hiding their true intentions behind a disguise of innocence. Wolves in sheep's clothing may charm and deceive, but their hearts are far from pure. Their words may be sweet, but their actions reveal a different story. Protect yourself from those who seek to manipulate and harm, for they often hide in plain sight. Trust your instincts and be cautious of those who don't align their words with genuine actions.
Shaila Touchton
Beware of demonized humans who masquerade as angels of light, their true nature revealed in their actions. They may wear a mask of kindness, but beneath lies a heart consumed by darkness. Their words may be laced with venom, aimed to destroy and manipulate. Identify them by their fruits: manipulation, control, and destruction. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, using guilt, shame, and fear to bind others. Don't be deceived by their charm; see the truth behind their facade. Recognize the signs and distance yourself from their toxic influence.
