If you steal, do not steal too much at a time. You may be arrested. Steal cleverly, little by little.

Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth.

Cheating is more honorable than stealing. 

Life is the art of being well deceived.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

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

The poor man is ruined as soon as he begins to ape the rich.

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

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

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

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