That dress looks great on you

You look wonderful.

No that doesnt make you look fat

I love the way you look.

Of course I love your mother dear

Your mother gave me you. How could I not love her.

My mom taught me that you do not lie but there is no reason to go around babbling all the truth either.

So did mine. Also, I learned that there's a difference between "what I think" and "the truth."

People on the internet often say, when challenged, "It's the truth!" about situations that are questions of opinion, values, or even metaphor, rather than truth or falsehood.

"It was imprudent of Donald Trump to refer to Omarosa Manigault as 'a dog'."
"But it's the truth!"

Somehow; this comes to mind:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool;
than to speak and remove all doubt.
