"一度嘘をつくことを許す者は、二度目や三度目にそれをするのがはるかに簡単だと感じ、やがてそれが習慣になる。"

Simplified Meaning:

When someone tells a lie, it becomes easier for them to lie again and again. Over time, lying becomes a habit. For example, if a student lies about their homework not being done because they were sick, it might be easier for them to lie the next time they forget their homework. Soon, they might lie about many things, not just homework. This ends up being a much bigger problem, as people might stop trusting them. To avoid this, it’s best to always be honest, even when it’s hard, so lying doesn’t become a regular part of our behavior.
