'The least falsehood

The least falsehood

It is not enough to make our lives true only so far as men can see them. We have but scorn for men who profess truth — and then in their secret life practice falsehood, deception, insincerity.

There must be truth through and through in the really noble and worthy character. Truth must be in the character — absolute truth. The least falsehood mars the beauty of the life.

"Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor" Ephesians 4:25
