There are other forms of untruthfulness besides the direct lie. There are those who would not speak an untrue word, who yet colour their statements so as to make them really false in the impression they leave; or they would not speak a lie, but they will act one. Their lives are full of small deceits, concealments, pretences, insincerities, dissimulations, dishonesties. You know how many of these there are in society. Oh, be true in your inmost soul — true in every word, act, look, tone, and feeling. Never deceive. There are no white lies in God’s sight; it is a miserable fiction that thinks there are.
