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

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

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

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

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

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

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

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

Cheating is more honorable than stealing. 

Life is the art of being well deceived.

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

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