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

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

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

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

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

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

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

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

Children and fools cannot lie. 

Honesty, for me, is usually the worst policy imaginable.

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