I also believe that truth is of the highest importance, but I agree with Soulty that a lie can be understandable in certain extreme circumstances.
For example, if scientists discovered that there was a meteor headed directly towards earth and they knew there is nothing we could do to stop it, they might simply not tell us, lest chaos ensue and our last days become days of great suffering and discord.
I don't think that is technically a noble lie as much as a simple withholding of important information... but its intent is largely the same.
