      1. A falsehood uttered or acted for the purpose of deception;
            an intentional violation of truth; an untruth spoken with
            the intention to deceive.
  
                     The proper notion of a lie is an endeavoring to
                     deceive another by signifying that to him as true,
                     which we ourselves think not to be so. --S. Clarke.
  
                     It is willful deceit that makes a lie. A man may act
                     a lie, as by pointing his finger in a wrong
                     direction when a traveler inquires of him his road.

            convenient to tell, and excuses himself for telling.
  
      Syn: Untruth; falsehood; fiction; deception.
  
      Usage: {Lie}, {Untruth}. A man may state what is untrue from
                  ignorance or misconception; hence, to impute an
                  untruth to one is not necessarily the same as charging
                  him with a lie. Every lie is an untruth, but not every
                  untruth is a lie. Cf. {Falsity}.

                     It is necessary to form a distinct notion of what is
                     meant by the word [bd]volition[b8] in order to
                     understand the import of the word will, for this
                     last word expresses the power of mind of which
                     [bd]volition[b8] is the act.               --Stewart.
  
                     Will is an ambiguous word, being sometimes put for
                     the faculty of willing; sometimes for the act of
                     that faculty, besides [having] other meanings. But
                     [bd]volition[b8] always signifies the act of
                     willing, and nothing else.                  --Reid.
  
                     Appetite is the will's solicitor, and the will is
                     appetite's controller; what we covet according to
                     the one, by the other we often reject. --Hooker.
  
                     The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses
                     anything.                                          --J. Edwards.
  
      2. The choice which is made; a determination or preference
            which results from the act or exercise of the power of
            choice; a volition.
  
                     The word [bd]will,[b8] however, is not always used
                     in this its proper acceptation, but is frequently
                     substituted for [bd]volition[b8], as when I say that
                     my hand mover in obedience to my will. --Stewart.
  
      3. The choice or determination of one who has authority; a
            decree; a command; discretionary pleasure.
  
                     Thy will be done.                              --Matt. vi.
                                                                              10.
  
                     Our prayers should be according to the will of God.
                                                                              --Law.
  
      4. Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.
  
      Note: [bd]Inclination is another word with which will is
               frequently confounded. Thus, when the apothecary says,
               in Romeo and Juliet,
  
                        My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . . Put
                        this in any liquid thing you will, And drink it
                        off. the word will is plainly used as, synonymous
               with inclination; not in the strict logical sense, as
               the immediate antecedent of action. It is with the same
               latitude that the word is used in common conversation,
               when we speak of doing a thing which duty prescribes,
               against one's own will; or when we speak of doing a
               thing willingly or unwillingly.[b8] --Stewart.
  
      5. That which is strongly wished or desired.
  
                     What's your will, good friar?            --Shak.
  
                     The mariner hath his will.                  --Coleridge.
  
      6. Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or
            determine.
  
                     Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies.
                                                                              --Ps. xxvii.
                                                                              12.
  
      7. (Law) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the
            manner in which he would have his property or estate
            disposed of after his death; the written instrument,
            legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his
            estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise.
            See the Note under {Testament}, 1.
