I would rather tell the truth and lose because I know that if I lie and win I have not really won. I like to really win!

You never win by lying. I would rather tell the truth because one lie leads to another and another..........and you always get caught in the lie or lies eventually. You are a bigger winner and a much better person by telling the truth.

It really depends on 2 things:-
1. The type of situation
2. The type of lie.
If the situation is not very serious and I'm pretty close to winning anyway, then a lie won't harm so much. But I will never lie in a serious competition.
Similarly, white lies are not so bad. We say them all the time. But I will never lie outright!

You will never loose by telling the truth.Truth has the power man.Never win by telling lie.If you tell lie then you may be exploted by others and may face some severe difficulties in future.If a person can excuse by hearing the truth then you will win for ever.So go for truth.

Definitely dont mind losing by telling the truth-but if the other person doesnt lose anything , wouldn't mind lying and winning!

The victory would be only temporary, til the truth is revealed, so better tell the truth, in the first place !

Lose by telling the truth.
One lie leads to another. When everything unravels, you may not be the only person hurt in the process.

If you lie, you'll get caught and lose anyway. If you feel you have to lie, it wasn't meant to be. Steer towards being honest at all times, it's easier, you don't have to remember the lies that way! Be good.
