Children and fools cannot lie. 

It was the men I deceived the most that I loved the most.

Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.

If you find excrement somewhere in the village, the chief was the one who put it there.

There is much difference between imitating a good man, and counterfeiting him.

There was no treachery too base for the world to commit.

An honest man is all right even if he’s an idiot…but a crook must have brains.

He that will cheat you at play, will cheat you any way.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.

You can put wings on a pig, but you don’t make it an eagle.

Alongside all swindlers the state now stands there as swindler-in-chief.

Anyone who’s never experienced the pleasure of betrayal doesn’t know what pleasure is.
