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

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

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

Life is the art of being well deceived.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

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

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

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

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

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

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