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.

Cheating is more honorable than stealing. 

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

Alongside all swindlers the state now stands there as swindler-in-chief.

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

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

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

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

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

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

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

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