Accountability is one of the measurements of truth.  There are many but I believe accountability is by far the best.  Lies can't stand the light of day when they have to be accounted for.  It's like tracing the origin of where it came from and determining what was the reason for it.  Then you will know if it is a lie or the truth.

No there is not.\nIn all of my years of lying and being lied to in various walks of life I've learned that everybody lies, everybody gives it away, and detecting a lie is more detective work than "dead give-away".\nYes there are lots of bodily quirks to pick up on when someone lies. These (like the eyes for example) reflexes really do not indicate a person is lying. They rather indicate that a person is nervous. Very often that is because they are lying but sometimes it is for any one of many other reasons. For example a murderer might pass a lie detector and even fool seasoned detectives, but you might fidget and cry and do all sorts of strange things if the cops stop at your door and ask where you were yesterday even if you were home quietly minding your own business.\nThe truth is to get to the bottom of a lie you have to be aware of what a particular person does when they lie. To do this you must be calculated and patient. \n1.)Wait to be told a lie that you know is a lie and begin to note any significant or slightly unusual behaviours (such as body language and voice tone out of the ordinary).\n2.) Engage the liar in a conversation where you request as much detail about the lie as you can. Make careful note of body language etc., and note the details of the conversation. Sound interested and convinced and you should get enough info for later.\n3.) Be patient. Find more proof.\n4.) You have to wait until the "LIE" surfaces a second time. You can elicit this it can be in the same conversation.\n5.) Make sure you heard right, ask them to repeat the lie. Make note of all body language etc.\n6.) Make a note of time date or other significant information at the time so you can remember enough to be certain for yourself that you know they have been caught.\n7.) Now this is where this all pays off. You sit your liar down and YOU initiate the conversation about any suspected lie. This time you start talking like your convinced and get them to repeat the suspected lie yet again. Watch the body laguage the whole time. You do not ever have to confront them.\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\nThis is a little trick meant to find out what a PARTICULAR PERSON does when they lie. It is meant to help determine the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN nervousness due to lying and other nervous behaviour one might exhibit when they are not lying. It is not meant to find out a lie. The liar always gives it away you just have to figure it out for your own liar.\n\nYou need a lie you know is a lie and they must think you believe it. The more you talk about the lie you know the more you have to watch and see. The more lies you do it with the more accurate you will become. This is something you can do dozens of times with a coworker or nieghbor before you confront them. The more often you do it before confrontation (if you choose confrontation) the more likely  you will be accurate. \nIf you make all of this happen (which could be done with someone you know but probably not a single encounter with a stranger) you should have a solid list of reflexes, behaviours, etc, that you can apply to ONLY THAT PERSON\nYou should be able to have no more than 95% odds that you can detect A person lying. If you want to keep your friends and family don't do this to them.\nYou will be surprised (and not too happy) to know who is really lying to you and about what. But I hope this helps and hope the lie is not too big. \nREMEMBER THE HUMAN MIND IS INCREDIBLE AND NOTHING IS FOOL PROOF.

A shorter list would be what he's not lied about. Look...he's either a liar or an idiot or both. I'm going with both.

All enemies within a human being: Greed, false pride, deceit, anger, and these then are further divided into subtle servants of these four to guard and keep them alive perpetually.\n\nFor instance to feed the devil of the greed within, one employs deceit.\n\nTo feed the devil of the false prsde and ego oriented behavior, one becomes angry or praises others falsely---you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.\n\nThe essence of human birth is to get rid and ultimately annihilate these devils within\n\nOnce they are dead, one becomes free and in bliss

Everybody lies.  It may only be “white” lies, but everyone tells lies or “omits the truth” sometimes. \n\nWe start lying at around age 4 to 5 when children gain an awareness of the use and power of language.  This first lying is not malicious, but rather to find out, or test, what can manipulated in a child’s environment.  Eventually children begin to use lying to get out of trouble or get something they want. \n\nWhite lies, those concocted to protect someone’s feelings, are not a big deal at all.  The person, however, who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large stuff has a problem. \n\nWe often call these folks pathological liars (which is a description, not a diagnosis).  They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment.  Quite often the person who has been deceived knows that this type of liar has to a certain extent deluded him or herself and is therefore to be somewhat pitied.\n\nA much more troubling group is those who lie a lot — and knowingly — for personal gain. These people may have a diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder, also known as being a sociopath, and often get into scrapes with the law. \n\nLying often gets worse with the passage of time. When you get away with a lie it often impels you to continue your deceptions. Also, liars often find themselves perpetrating more untruths to cover themselves. \n\nWe hold different people to different standards when it comes to telling the truth.  We expect, for example, less honesty from politicians than from scientists.  We have a vision of purity about those who are doing research, while we imagine that politicians will at least shade the truth about themselves in order to get elected. \n\nWhy do we dislike liars, especially sociopaths, so much? It’s a matter of trust.  When a person lies, they have broken a bond – an unspoken agreement to treat others as we would like to be treated.  Serious deception often makes it impossible for us to trust another person again. \n\nBecause the issue of trust is on the line, coming clean about the lie as soon as possible is the best way to mend fences.  If the truth only comes out once it is forced, repair of trust is far less likely. \n\nAs a parent, the most important message you can send your children about lying is that you always — always — want them to come clean with you.  No matter how big a whopper they have told, remind them that you would always rather hear the truth, no matter how bad it is, than be deceived.  Tell them there is really nothing more sacred in your relationship than your trust of each other. \n\nOf course, all this presupposes that we have discovered an untruth — some people are so expert at deception that it often takes a long time to find out that we have been lied to.\n\nHow, then, can we best detect whether we are being misled? There is no foolproof way, but there are often clues you can see in behavior that should make you suspicious:\n\nAvoidance of eye contact: Usually someone makes eye contact at least half the time they are talking to you.  If you notice them avoiding eye contact or looking down during a specific part of a conversation, they may well be lying.\n\nChange of voice: A variation in pitch of voice or rate of speech can be a sign of lying.  So can lots of umms and ahhs.\n\nBody language. Turning your body away, covering your face or mouth, a lot of fidgeting of hands or legs can indicate deception.\n\nContradicting yourself:. Making statements that just don’t hold together should make you suspicious. \n\nIf you lie all the time, even about unimportant things, you are likely to have a problem that will eventually -- if it hasn’t already -- cause you real relationship, financial or legal troubles. Figuring out what is driving you to lie in the first place will help heal this self-destructive behavior. This may mean going into treatment with a therapist to discover why you feel the ne

Not really. I think that there is a difference between giving half truth or lieing though. I think most of the time people lie because they do not want to hurt others. But what they do not realize is that the other person will usually find out that they were lied to and that hurts a lot worse then the truth.\nIt is best to tell the truth and just get it over with no matter how hard it is to say. Even if you half it or sugar coat it. At least be honest. And you have to be honest with yourself too before you can be honest with someone else. And being true to yourself is one of the most important qualities a person can have.\nI have taught my daughter I would rather her tell me the truth and she will get in less trouble then that than if she lies and I find out she is lying.

It is best to tell the truth.  Not telling the truth can lead to a cascade of lies as you try to cover up your tracks.  While there may be a punishment in the short term, in the long run, you will have a lot more trust and leeway than if someone found out that what you said before was a lie.  They will be left wondering about everything you said and you will be unable to convince them even if you are telling the truth.
