This quote means that you should always tell the truth because if you tell a lie, then that means that you are going to get caught someday and that will end badly because if you tell a lie, then that means that you will loose some friends ta=hat you have gained because some people don't like people that lie just to get out f the situation that they caused in the first place. For example, if you say the truth, then that means that you are doing the right and good thing because not a lot of people say the truth and they would just basically lie and they are the ones that didn't choose the right and correct thing to do, so that means that you should always say the truth so you can probably protect someone by telling the truth and you would get into less trouble with other people that asked you if you are telling the truth or not. And by telling the truth you can protect innocent people from being blamed or punished by other people but others would lie just to get out of their own situation they cause by themselves and they will blame it on other people so that they wont get punished.
