Summary

This quote suggests that dealing with lies requires wisdom and skill. A wise person understands how to navigate the complexities and consequences that come with deceit, and may be able to manage and manipulate the situation to their advantage. On the other hand, it implies that someone lacking wisdom would be ill-equipped to handle lies and may face negative repercussions by attempting to be dishonest. Therefore, it suggests that it is preferable for a fool to simply remain honest rather than attempting to handle lies they are ill-equipped to manage.
