I suppose everyone tells little white lies. Quite often they're necessary to make someone feel better or prevent feelings from being hurt. Whoppers? No, that's dangerous and they'll boomerang.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The average person tells a few white lies.
I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.
Little white lies are part of everyday life. If you're in court being charged with a felony, you're probably going to be tempted to lie. Or if your girlfriend asks you if the sweater she is wearing makes her look fat; you're going to lie because you love that person. There are different reasons and justifications to lie; it's human nature.
There's hostility to lying, and there should be.
When we tell little white lies, we become progressively color-blind. It is better to remain silent than to mislead.
A great lie is like a great fish on dry land; it may fret and fling and make a frightful bother, but it cannot hurt you. You have only to keep still, and it will die of itself.
Lies are told only to convey to someone that one has no need either of him or his good opinion.
People need good lies. There are too many bad ones.
Don't tell lies, ever. No matter what - not even little white lies.
Malicious lying is usually a matter of need, but often the cruelest things we say are the truth.
