"Si dices la verdad, no tienes que recordar nada."

Mark Twain

Simplified Meaning:

When you always tell the truth, there's no need to keep track of what you’ve said before. Imagine if a student lies to their teacher about why they didn't do their homework. They might say they were sick, but later forget and tell the principal they were helping their mom. Keeping up with these lies can get confusing and stressful. However, if the student simply tells the teacher they forgot to do the homework, it might lead to a scolding, but they won't have to keep remembering all their different stories. Being honest means you stay consistent in what you say, which makes life simpler and more straightforward. So, by being truthful, you avoid the hassle of juggling multiple stories and the risk of getting caught in a lie.
