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

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

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

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

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

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

Life is the art of being well deceived.

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.

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

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

Children and fools cannot lie.
