Whatever is only almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because being so near truth, it is the more likely to lead astray.

God is not a man, that he should lie ...

Parents shouldn't lie to their children-not even when they think it's for their own good. Even a little lie is dangerous ...

You cannot play with falsehood without forfeiting your right to the truth, play with cruelty without losing your sensitivity of mind. He who wants to keep his garden tidy, doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.

Dare to be true: nothing can need a lie; A fault, which needs it most, grows two thereby.

I have seldom known any one who deserted truth in trifles that could be trusted in matters of importance.

White lies always introduce others of a darker complexion.

When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though I know she lies ...

One lie begets another.

And he that does one fault at first, And lies to hide it, makes it two.
