Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

Honesty, for me, is usually the worst policy imaginable.

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

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

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

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

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

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

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.

Men were born to lie, and women to believe them.

Life is the art of being well deceived.

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