Read our famous quotes about white lies from acclaimed authors and personalities worldwide.
Any blatant lie is a white lie. It is a dirty white lie when you say and feel do not sync.
We all tell little white lies to get social approval, monetary gains, emotional support, feel included in a group, and a good image in others’ minds, etc.
Remember, whether it is a small or big lie, a lie is always a lie.
One may hide it from the world with inner cunningness, but a frequent lying person lives with compromised self-worth and no self-respect towards oneself.
Instead, live a truthful life that reduces the need to say lies. When we understand where our greed and fear are coming from, the tendency to deceive the world decreases.
We hope you will find our thought-provoking white lies quotes collection helpful.
