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

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

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

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

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

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

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

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

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

If you find excrement somewhere in the village, the chief was the one who put it there.

Life is the art of being well deceived.
