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

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

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

Life is the art of being well deceived.

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

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

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.

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

Cheating is more honorable than stealing. 

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

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

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