Truth a Handle to Lying
Leviticus 19:11
You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.


— A lie always needs a truth for a handle to it, else the hand would cut itself which sought to drive it home upon another. The worst lies, therefore, are those whose blade is false, but whose handle is true.

(H. W. Beecher.)
