People talk about “white lies” — little deceptions, concealments, false seemings, subterfuges — as if they were not particularly wrong. But he who would be true must be true through and through, in the innermost depths of his being and in the smallest affairs as well as the largest. He must simply be true. Let your soul of truth be as pure and unstained as the snowflakes when they fall from the cloud. There really are no “white lies;” all lies are black. Falsehood is of the night, no matter whether it be merely a look or a silence that deceives, or whether it be an uttered untruth. Let us learn to be true for God’s eye.
