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

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

Cheating is more honorable than stealing. 

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

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.

And, after all, what is a lie? ’Tis but the truth in masquerade.

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

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

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

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

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