“No one ever lies when they are in the right.”
— Damon Runyon

Simplified Meaning:
When people are telling the truth or doing the right thing, they have no reason to lie. Lies usually come up when someone tries to cover up something wrong or hide the truth. Imagine a child who took cookies from the jar without asking. If the child knows it was wrong, they might lie about it. On the other hand, if the child asked for a cookie and was given one, they wouldn't need to make up a story. This idea can be used in everyday life: always try to do what's right, and you won't have to worry about getting caught in a lie. Being honest and doing the right thing saves you from the stress and complications that come with dishonesty.
