I believe that's when a person says nothing and lets a lie be believed rather than sticking up for the truth.

It could mean many things. Like: its the lies we tell ourself that are the most damaging. Or: we may be telling huge lies by keeping our mouths shut. Or: we allow others to continue in their ignorance because we're afraid to share our thoughts and feelings.
Personally, I'd rather have people tell me what they really think than to play pretend about things- even if the truth is a little ouchy. At least I know I can trust them.

It means that sometimes it is worse to keep your mouth shut about something than it is to actually tell a lie.
When someone says something to you, you can decide whether or not they're telling the truth. It's up to you to make a decision. However, when something is going on and no one says a word, you have no power because you don't know anything.

I would say that it is referring to the lies that one tells themselves. Aren't those the cruelest, at least to the selt?

It could be that when you have the chance to speak up and right a wrong -and you say nothing . Some think that when you say nothing , it's not a lie ; but it is .

It is the sin of silence, the sin of ommission... it means that someone stayed silent, instead of speaking up.

Not telling somebody something that they should know. Like not telling your girlfriend that you are married. IF you don't tell her, you hurt her more because you didn't give her the choice of if she wanted to be there or not.

It means with-holding important information that could help guide a decision. Am I hurt, or not hurt?

That by omitting speaking you allow someone to assume something extremely hurtful that YOU know is not true.

It means you lied because you never said, "That was me". About the cruel part I have no clue.
