Sticks and stones may break my bones / But words will never hurt me.
That’s a lie. Okay, it’s not completely false, it’s a half-truth. Sticks and stones can break bones. But words can hurt, too; very painfully.
...Lies
When is it okay to lie?
Very, very rarely.
Hashem knows when and how to go about that. Hashem told Avraham Aveinu that Sarah Eimainu referred to herself as “old,” when actually she had referred to him as old, and Rashi says that shina hakasuv mipnai hashalom, Hashem wanted to preserve their shalom bayis. (Braishis 18:12-15) Rav Nisan Alpert, ZT’L in Limudei Nisan, reminds us that such distortions of the truth must be very carefully limited.
