“Honesty is the best policy” was written by Mark Twain. It means that being honest is the best action. A policy that we usually don’t follow is being honest. We lie every time per day. This means that the wort policy is to become a lier. The quote means that we shouldn't tell lies. It means that we should tell someone the truth than a lie. An example would be that someone committed a crime. He wanted to blame someone else for his crime. Though if a he lied , he would live with a poor heart for his life. So the man told the truth that he did the crime. Even though a lie can change and save you from situations, things can get messed up have have no order. So always tell the truth.
