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

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

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

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

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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.

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

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

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

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

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