Not simply, do not lie (although that is one of the Ten Sayings), but keep faraway from falsehood. Falsehood can mean exaggeration - the salesman who knowingly exaggerates the value of of a product is obligated to return the purchase price to the buyer if the product does not live up to expectation. Like building a fence around the Torah, we should distance ourselves from the possibility of lying by keeping away from falsehood.
I am reminded that the first question we will be asked in heavens according to the Talmud is, "Were you honest in your business dealings?" This topic keeps is in the thorny brush of is there a difference between not lying and telling the truth. Parents are reminded not to lie to their children, lest the children learn to lie from their parents behavior. Telushkin reminds us of the Yiddish proverb, "A half truth is a whole lie."
Treat the other honestly. How different might the world be if we lived according to that idea?
