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

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

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

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

Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to 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.

Life is the art of being well deceived.

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

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

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

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