About This Quote
The definition of a lie is the intentional misleading of someone else by telling them something that is not true. In this quote, Papa Bear was talking about people who have a habit of telling lies. The ironic thing about lies is that the person who tells them often doesn’t even know that they’re telling a lie. They just assume that what they’re saying is the truth.
And, as a result, they don’t stop to think about what they say. Often, it can be rather easy to spot a lie because it sounds so odd and unbelievable. The only way to defeat a lie is to know the truth, which can be found in the gray area between what is true and what isn’t true.
