“Lying is a crime the least liable to variation in its definitions. A child will upon the slightest temptation tell an untruth as readily as the truth. That is, as soon as he can suspect that it will be to his advantage; and the dread that he afterward has of telling a lie is acquired principally by his being threatened, punished, and terrified by those who detect him in it, till at length, a number of painful impressions are annexed to the telling of an untruth, and he comes even to shudder at the thought of it.” ChildrenLyingNumbersCrimeAdvantageDefinitionsPainfulImpressionTemptationLengthSuspectsDreadTerrifiedThreatenedVariationLiableUntruth Book:The Theological and Miscellaneous Works.
