"To tell a lie in cowardice, to tell……" — Emily Post

"To tell a lie in cowardice, to tell a lie for gain, or to avoid deserved punishment-are all the blackest of black lies. On the other hand, to teach one to try one's best to avoid the truth-even to press it when necessary toward the outer edge of the rainbow-for a reason of kindness, or of mercy, is far closer to the heart of truth than to repeat something accurately and mercilessly that will cruelly hurt the feelings of someone."
