Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Life is the art of being well deceived.
