- "Lies! All lies! You are the greatest liar I have ever meet!"
A lie was a deliberate statement which was untrue, usually as a means to deceive or mislead another individual. Someone who told a lie was called a "liar".
One of the great legends surrounding Vulcans was that the race was incapable of telling a lie. While generally believed to be accurate, Vulcans were in fact capable of telling lies, usually justifying this action as a logical course towards a means to an end. An example of this would be lying to carry out a secret mission or lying to protect the lives of others. Both Spock and Valeris were capable of lying; although Valeris's motives were somewhat dubious. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Miranda Jones once called James T. Kirk a liar, proclaiming "It's a lie!" when Kirk stated that Jones and tried to murder Spock while mind melding with a Medusan. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?").
Garth of Izar once said that Marta was "the greatest liar I have ever met" when she claimed to have written a verse from a play by William Shakespeare. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy")
