Quote by Yiddish Proverb

A half truth is a whole lie.

A half truth is a whole lie.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the notion that a half truth, although partially truthful, is deceptive and ultimately presents a false narrative or understanding. By only providing partial information or distorting the facts, a half truth misleads and manipulates the recipient, leading them to believe something that is not entirely accurate. It stresses the importance of seeking and conveying complete truthfulness and honesty, as anything less can still be considered as a lie.
